DIFFERENCE B/W NEUTRAL AND EARTH?..

Answer / jerick

An Earth point is connected to ground by a low resistance
path so as to protect persons and electrical system from
possible voltage hazard. In case of some some
issue/accident with power supply, current passes to ground
through earthed wire ( keeping voltage on body equal to
near ground)
A Neutral point is the common point from a star connected
transformer providing low resistance return path for
current. The role of Neutral wire is to close the circuit
and carry the consumer load current (return current) back
to the transformer point) while the earth point shall
carry no current in normal situation

There is one 40MVA oil cooled transformer (yet to commission), filled with 95% oil and we are trying to fill 5% Nytrogen in that transformer so that there should not be any foreign component inside. But even though there is no leakage, nytrogen is not withstanding inside transformer, within a day or two pressure guage is showing 0. Why is it soooo? Pls reply.
