What is the difference between Earthing and Neutral?

Answer Posted / tauseef tarique, engineer(e)

Earthing is used for safety of person from leakage current.
It is connected to to metallic part(or body) of all
installed(or connected) equipment. Earthing is done locally
in the ground. The types of earthing are Plate earthing
(Copper or G.I.) and Pipe earthing.
Neutral is used to complete the circuit. In every single
phase supply neutral is must to complete the circuit. It is
obtained from the neutral point of star side of a
Transformer.

A 100 kVA , 400 v/250 kv testing transformer has 8% leakage reactance and resistance on 100 KVA base . A cable has to be tested at 500 kv using the above transformer as a resonant transformer at 50 hz . if the charging current of the cable at 500 kv is 0.4 A find the series inductance required . Assume 2% resistance for the inductor to be used and the connecting leads . Neglect dielectric loss of hte cable . what will be the input voltage to the transformer ?
