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

    Again, I see no harm in multiple earthing of a PE.



    Because it's not just a PE in that diagram - it's also the system N - it ties the neutral points of both sources togther - and multiple earthing of a N can be a problem.

    Not a PE in the diagram, but a PE in real life. I can not find or see any problems if earthing it multiple times.
