How do you reduce neutral to earth voltage in three phase system?

It is done by connecting the neutral to earth at the transformer that produces the three-phase supply.
If the three phase wire supply equal currents, there is no current in the neutral wire and its whole length stays at earth potential, but if there is current in the neutral it produces a small voltage on the neutral at places away from the transformer.

How do you reduce neutral and earth voltage up to 0 volts?
If you are reading a voltage it is the drop across the resistance to ground. To get rid of the voltage get the resistance lower. This can be accomplished by installing more ground rods to the grounding system. Utility companies usually like 3 ohms to ground or less.
What is the total of a phase to earth voltage on 11000 volts?
An 11,000 volt three-phase supply has a voltage of 6351 from live to neutral, when there is a neutral wire.
What wire on a 3 line wooden pylon is live neutral and earth?
If you are referring to a high-voltage line, then it will be a three-phase system, where each of the three conductors is live.
Why neutral is required?
Neutral is the current return for the hot leg(s). Neutral is grounded, so as to limit the maximum voltage of any of the hots with respect to earth ground. In a typical residential 120/240VAC split phase system, either of the hots with respect to neutral is 120VAC. In a three phase system, neutral is at the center of the wye configuration, and each of the three hots returns power to it.
Why would you get half voltage between live and neutral?
You can measure a small voltage between earth and neutral, even if the neutral is grounded to earth, because the neutral conductor acts as an antenna picking up electromagnetic radiation in the atmosphere. -------------------------- If the above answer were true, the earth conductor would also act as an antenna. But the real answer is, if you read ANY voltage between the neutral and earth, the neutral is broken somewhere between where you are measuring and the panel or not properly bonded in the panel. Call a competent electrician to repair the problem.

Voltage across Neutral and earth for a 3 phase auto transformer?
A grounded neutral will be at earth potential. A floating neutral will be at a voltage dependent upon the voltage imbalance between phases, and the design of the transformer.
What to do when there is voltage at neutral?
Quality of the earth pit needs to be checked and enhanced. Check the continuity of the earth bus/ conductor, check for improper joints in the earth bus / conductor and correct it. Earth resistance will reduce and the voltage difference between neutral and earth will also reduce. Check also for the loose or floating neutral and correct it.
Define earth voltage and neutral voltage?
As the neutral point of an electrical supply system is often connected to earth ground, ground and neutral are closely related. Under certain conditions, a conductor used to connect to a system neutral is also used for grounding (earthing) of equipment and structures. Current carried on a grounding conductor can result in objectionable or dangerous voltages appearing on equipment enclosures, so the installation of grounding conductors and neutral conductors is carefully defined in electrical regulations. Where a neutral conductor is used also to connect equipment enclosures to earth, care must be taken that the neutral conductor never rises to a high voltage with respect to local ground.
How do you reduce neutral to earth voltage below 5volts as it is showing 9 volts at my PC powersocket?
First you have to check and conform there is no earth leakage in your home. Then conform the earth is perfect. then check the P-N , P-E and N-E voltage. If the P-N voltage is less than that of P-E voltage, problem is IMPROPER NEUTRAL of your supply system.Means,you have to balance the load of the supply system or conform the neutral earthing in distribution transformer side by the help of Electricity board authority. If the P-E voltage is less than that of P-N voltage , you have to strengthen your earth. After that all above mention, you will get P-N V is almost equal to P-E V and N-E V will come around 0-3 V.
What is the total of a phase to earth voltage on 11000 volts?
An 11,000 volt three-phase supply has a voltage of 6351 from live to neutral, when there is a neutral wire.
What is voltage between earth and line?
In a typical residential situation there is 220 to 240 volts between the two hot wires that are typically red and black and 110 to 120 volts between neutral and either black or red. The voltage between neutral and earth should be zero.
Can there be 230 volt potential drop in both neutral and live socket practically?
This question is not quite clear but I will try it somehow. The voltage drop between the live and neutral, and live and earth will both be 230v, but the voltage drop between the neutral and earth is almost zero due to the fact that the neutral and earth is basically one conductor split.
What wire on a 3 line wooden pylon is live neutral and earth?
If you are referring to a high-voltage line, then it will be a three-phase system, where each of the three conductors is live.

Why voltage at neutral in ckt is zero?
You really should be asking why the potential of neutral is zero. 'Voltage' means 'potential difference' which, by definition, cannot exist at at point. The reason is that the neutral conductor is earthed (grounded), and earth is, by general consent, considered to have a potential of zero volts. In practise, however, there is usually a small voltage drop between the neutral and earth, so it would be more accurate to say that the neutral's potential is close to zero.
Why neutral have zero voltage?
Your question should read, 'Why does a neutral have zero potential?' 'Voltage' means 'potential difference', and you cannot have a potential difference at a single point. A neutral doesn't necessarily have zero potential although it is connected to earth (ground). This is because the potential of earth isn't literally zero; it's just considered to be zero, in the same way that sea level is considered to be zero in terms of height. Furthermore, there is often a voltage drop between the neutral and earth -in which case, the potential of the neutral can be several volts higher than the potential of earth.
