Why neutral is Grounded in star connected transformer?

Question

Accepted Answer

Neutral is grounded in star connected transformer for safety and to limit voltage rise.

Grounding neutral limits voltage rise in case of unbalanced loads.
It provides a path for fault current to flow, which helps in detecting and isolating faults.
It reduces the risk of electric shock to personnel and damage to equipment.
In some countries, it is a legal requirement to ground the neutral in electrical systems.
Example: In a 3-phase, 4-wire system, the neutral is grounded to limit voltage rise and provide a return path for unbalanced loads.

2) Neutral Earthing:

In a three-phase connection, there can be varying loads between the three phases. This unbalanced load can cause a fault current called a floating current.
