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

    But it isn't a PEN though. Its a line to line system, yet the regs want to treat it as though it was line to neutral connected loads. Why must a PE be treated as a PEN when said PE/PEN will not carry any current other than fault current?
