What is the difference between EARTH & NEUTRAL?

Answer Posted / sanjay

Neutral provide us the return path for the power to
complete the closed circuit.

While the Earth is used to connect non current carrying
metallic parts to it to protect us from the leakage or
induced current due to generator action between the non
current carrying metalic parts and near by A.C. coil or
inductor.

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 ?
