Answer / veer1981
The Earth wire is a safety protective wire that normally
carries no current.The Neutral is the normal "return" wire.
In systems where the load is supplied from only one Hot
(or "Live") wire, the Neutral completes the circuit and
carries current back from the load to the power station.
