Why is it forbidden to earth the neutral at the source of a 3 wire system?
AJJewsbury:
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.
But it not just a PE, even in real life it's also a N - it's liable to be carrying current in normal service - even if in this case of not distributing N to the loads it'll still be carrying circulating currents. Remember that comment that it should be thought of as 'similar to a PEN'?
