ABSOLUTELY NOT!
The protective earth ground wire is only there to provide a low resistance path to ground in the event of a short circuit so as to trip the protective device. Operational current is never, under any circumstances allowed to be passed on earth ground. Use neutral for neutral and ground for ground.
CONSULT A QUALIFIED AND LICENSED ELECTRICIAN !!!!
What else can I help you with?
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.
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 is color code for neutral earth pit?
You can not have a "neutral earth" the "neutral" and the "earth" are separate wires/connections and should not be cross connected or muddled up.
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.
What is the permissible neutral current?
I think you mean "what is the permissible imbalance between live and neutral current" All current supplied by the live wire should exit via the neutral. Any imbalance leaving via Earth is detected by an earth leakage circuit breaker . They trip at about 30 mA.

Why do you connect neutral and earth at the fuse board?
Connecting the neutral and earth at the fuse board provides an additional safety measure in the event of a fault. It helps to ensure that any stray current has a low impedance path to earth, protecting against electric shocks and creating a stable reference point for the electrical system.
What is meant by neutral grounding reactor?
Neutral-earthing reactors or Neutral grounding reactors are connected between the neutral of a power system and earth to limit the line-to-earth current to a desired value under system earth fault conditions.
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.
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 is potential between neutral and earth in a single phase generator?
It should be zero.
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.
Why we measure voltage between neutral to earth?
To ensure that it complies with the relevant electrical wiring regulations.
When connecting a mains polarity test between the neutral and earth connections what should the reading be?
Infinity
