Hence, to change voltage, only one of the potentials has to change (although both can). Triplen harmonic currents (odd multiples of the third harmonic) are additive, resulting in more current in the shared neutral conductor than in any of the phase conductors. In the absolute worst case, the current in the shared neutral conductor can be triple that in each phase conductor.
We are generating the power by generator in Three phase system. These three phases can be connected in star or delta connection.
In normal condition the voltage and current flow from neutral is zero.
But in the case of short circuit or during .
Earth or Ground is for safety concerns against leakage or residual currents on the system via least resistance path. In Home, neutral is the return path of the current to the transformer and Earthing is for avoiding the shock. However in Distribution side both have the same meaning and using as the return path of the current.
