If earth is used as return conductor all the earth
protections will b bypassed. If ELCB is used it will not
work and energy meters will not record energy consumed etc.;

Answer / rajendra singh

The neutral is a current carrying conductor, but at "ground" potential or close to.
By using the EGC as the neutral, you have neutral current on metal attached to the electrical system. It will and has caused fires and there is the potential for a fatal shock.
For example you use the EGC as the return neutral. An electrican is working on a circuit and opens the neutral and gets a fatal shock.

If connects earth wire instead of neutral wire the equipment will work no doubts, and the voltage given to the equipment (example, a bulb) is same as the voltage given by the neutral wire. even though why we couldn't connects so ???

It is because if we connects earth wire instead of neutral wire the phase(live) voltage will come to the next point of the equipment (in the point where earth wire is connected) via equipment, ie if we use a tester both side of the equipment shows lighted tester.

It can cause electrical shock and damages other equipments by other means.

Answer / vivek

we can use earth wire instead of neutral but the potential
difference may decrease because of earth resistance.we are
not using in day to day appliances because if we use earth
as neutral then there is a risk of electric shock

Answer / lalu k b

I realised that.. No one have the capacity to explain the answer well...I feel shame..

Answer / ranadhir

If we use earthwire instead of neutral what will happen ??
Step potential appear between the feet ,may be around 5volt & a very small current ( mA ) will flow that human body may not feel.
Now in case of fault, fault current will flow to earth & human body standing on floor experience a shock because of rise of step voltage.
So in this case step & touch voltage is dangerous for survival.

Answer / naresh

It Will take more power, or draw more current

And energy meter do not record

Answer / arunavasudevan

using of earth instead of neutral will damage sometimes all ur appliances....it is dangerous to use.....use only earth as connectivity from neutral

Answer / ajaz

uncontrollable current will flow through equipment which is harmful. 

Answer / anil

if earth wire is used instead of Neutral wire. Earth wire is
-ive infinit voltage. Then increase in the effective voltage
and then more current will pass. our appliances are meant
for specific voltage grade. this high current will damage
our appliances. usually, you can prove it by using electric
bulb neutral connected with earth wire. and chk the parameters.
