what is the difference between earth and neutral?

Answer Posted / mohanraj .c

first of all we should clear in the terms of earth and
neutral. earth is always zero potential and neutral is the
reference point of a.c system.i.e neutral is also in the
zero potential but not always.
two types of earthing is available
1. neutral earthing
2.equipment earthing

neutral earthing is used for equipment safety and equipment
earthing is used for human safety.(body of the equipment is
connected to earth.so during fault time, the fault current
flows through this)

so earthing is only for safety purpose.
but neutral is a returning path to an alternating current.
