EARTH AND NEUTRAL ARE JOINTED OR NOT?

Answer Posted / victor vgp

no
if we take three pin socket(power socket) it has three pins
at bottom it has two pins of similar size's one is for
phase and another one for neutral which is mean for return
path of the circuit and
another pin in top is earth which is comparitively larger
in size because it's mean to take unwanted fault current to
ground
so that neutral is a return path to the circuit and earth
is meant for earthing the fault current
r u got it?
