neutre connecté à la terre


Explanation:
"According to the North American electrical code (US and Canada), Neutral and Safety Ground must be bonded at the service entrance (or main breaker panel). The green wilre will also be connected to Earth via a ground rod driven into the earth near the service entrance. Neutral will also be grounded at the power pole and distribution transformer.

All this grounding ensures that the AC wiring is kept near earth potential, and won't drift up to 12 KV due to a fault in the distribution transformer."

agree  Tony M: Yes, it has to be understood as 'earth-bonded neutral'; perhaps 'relié', in line with common technical usage?

neutral  Johannes Gleim: No RCD will trigger in case of leakage fault if an earthed neutral or PE is connected to the device. The neutral has to be unearthed! The PEN must be split into PE (bonded to the enclosure) and N upstream of the RCD.
