Why is it forbidden to earth the neutral at the source of a 3 wire system?

    But how would current flow if there are no line to neutral connected loads? The diagram says "TN-S without the neutral distributed" and that is how I plan on implementing it.


    I want to earth at both source and the gear, so 3 earth connections. The gear's PE bar will take on the extranious bonding of gas, water and structural steel.
