In a MEN (Multiple Earth Neutral) system, the neutral wire is connected to the earth wire at the switchboard. This is the neutral link. From an electrical point of view the neutral pin and the earth pin in a power socket are at the same potential but from a safety point of view they are different. A residual current device (RCD) (or earth leakage core-balance-relay(ELCBR)) sits in series with both the active and the neutral feed and a leakage from either wire to ground (via a human or water leak in a washing machine etc) will trip the circuit breaker that is in the RCD.
Another AnswerFuses or circuit breakers must be inserted into the line conductor, never into the neutral conductor. However, if we need to isolate the circuit, we must place a break in both the line and the neutral conductors. We can achieve this for the line conductor by, for example, removing the fuse. To achieve the same with the neutral conductor, we can open the neutral link, which is simply a short length of conductor inserted between a pair of terminals in the neutral.
To protect a circuit, we use a fuse or circuit breaker. The fuse or circuit breaker must always be placed in the lineconductor, never in the neutral conductor. So, if we want to completely isolate a circuit from the supply, we must remove the fuse from the line conductor, and open the link in the neutral conductor. A 'link' is a non-fusible metal break point in the neutral.
There is no such thing as a 'neutral phase'. 'Live' or 'hot' conductors are called 'lines', whereas the neutralconductor is at approximately earth (ground) potential.So, a toaster would be connected between a line and a neutral conductor.
You need to look at the regulations that apply in your country. If in doubt, use a neutral wire of the same size as the live wire or wires.
system will b damaged or destroyed in case of failures.............if we provide neutral d short ckt current passed through earth directly ,with out disturbing the system
The question doesn't provide enough detail to give a definitive answer. The neutral PD is often used in protective functions on high resistance grounded generators (when grounded through a transformer). High resistance grounding limits the use of transformers - you must be using balanced loads, since very little current will flow (typically around 5-20amperes max) to the neutral. Because of this, phase to neutral values (such as voltage) are meaningless. Any current flowing in the neutral will cause an offset in all three phases from neutral. Since the neutral is high resistance grounded, it does not take a significant amount of current to cause significant offset.

Almost neutral. Please see the link.
link is provided in neutral path of ac supply because it should provide a path for unbalanced currents , if we use fuse ,fuse may blow of and damage the entire system and also unbalanced currents may be more than the fuse rating
Sometimes the neutral is used instead of the ground/earth but it never should be. Using it that way is a violation of code and a demonstration of the laziness and irresponsibility of the person doing the wiring.

there should be a master link with a clip. with a screw driver try to take the clip off and pop off the master link,try to have bike in neutral with rear tire off the ground. it is really hard to get the clip off the link sometimes and you might poke a few holes in your hand trying. My chains are always riveted on for racing and I always use a grinder to cut my chains off. So if you can not get the clip off the master link use a grinder. there should be a master link with a clip. with a screw driver try to take the clip off and pop off the master link,try to have bike in neutral with rear tire off the ground. it is really hard to get the clip off the link sometimes and you might poke a few holes in your hand trying.
