Neutral is vital to complete the cicuit. Ground is vital to carry the current to earth during a malfuntion of the appliance using power to drive it, should the current come in contact with the frame or outer covering of the appliance and endangering the users life.
do a continuity test between the neutral and the metal enclosure of the equipment containing the neutral. infinity reading [ open line ] indicates floating neutral. Steve sorensen jr
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.
The neutral of a generator should never get into a condition where is is floating. All generators have the neutral tied to the frame of the generator set. It comes this way from the manufacturer. If it is floating then someone has disconnected the neutral wire from the frame. Just reconnect the neutral to the generator frame again to stop it from floating. Larger generators should also have a ground rod connected to the generator frame for grounding purposes.
Floating neutral in 3 phase supply is undesirable as if the same thing occurs then there will be bad effect for all single phase equipment which we are using as phase to neutral voltage will exceed from its normal value and it will harm the equipments.
The main difference between the two is that a TP isolator is only a "triple pole" isolator. A TPN isolator is a "triple pole" and neutral isolator.

When you touch both the live and neutral wires, a difference in electric potential exists, creating a circuit through your body. This allows current to flow, resulting in an electric shock. The human body is a conductor of electricity, and the shock can disrupt normal electrical signals in the body, potentially causing injury or even death.
It means the neutral is not grounded.

The difference between neutron are neutral, and electrons have a negative change too them. Neutron is a neutral particle that exists in the nucleus of an atom. The year when the neutron was founded was 1932.
Because both are neutral.
As i know,neutral is the return path of current & ground is for any leakage current
A 'voltage' is another name for a potential difference. As the name implies, a potential difference exists between two different points or, in the case of an electrical installation, between the line conductor and the neutral conductor. So the neutral does not 'import voltages'. Voltages exist between the line (hot) conductor and the neutral conductor.
- protons are positive and neutrons are neutral- a small difference of mass exist
