what is the difference between earth and neutral?
Answer Posted / engineer. nikesh shelar
Earthing: As we all know it is used to protect human bodys
from leakage current from short circuit in equipments or
mal function or crack in insulation.
Neutral: In case of 1 phase AC system, neutral acts as a
return path to flowing current in any electrical circuit.
It is up to the 1 Phase Generator. But in 3 phase AC
system, neutral is not compalsory if the system is in
stable operation (In stable operation the return path is
same as the third phase when first and second are above the
zero volt in the positive cycle). But it is usual practice
that there is always leakage current flowing in any
electrical ckt. thus Neutal is provided to carry this
current and take it to the Ground like Eearthing....
Thank you....
