Earthing neutral

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

    I mean that the PE behind the switchgear is insulated and can not be earthed at either source.



    Yup- earthing the neutral by connecting it to an earthing electrode and also connecting it to the MV cable sheath.
