BUT UNBALANCED CONDITION HOWEVER THE FAULT CURRENTS GO TO NEUTRAL AND HOW THE PROTECTIONS TAKE PLACE?????

ACTUALLY IN NEUTRAL THERE WILL BE NEUTRAL CT CONNECTED WITH EARTH LEAKAGE RELAY.,,

WHEN UNBALANCED CONDITION OCCURS THE CT SENSE THE FAULT CURRENT THAT GOES TO ELR.,, FINALLY THE RELAY TRIP THE MAIN SUPPLY.,,

Why transformer neutral is earthed..

Answer / pravin tamshetty

Ground or earth in a mains (AC power) electrical wiring system is a conductor that provides a low-impedance path to the earth to prevent hazardous voltages from appearing on equipment (high voltage spikes).a grounding conductor does not carry current. Grounding is an integral path for home wiring also because it causes circuit breakers to trip more quickly


Neutral is a circuit conductor that normally carries current back to the source. Neutral is usually connected to ground (earth) at the main electrical panel, street drop, or meter, and also at the final step-down transformer of the supply.
