Will the performance of the entire string decrease by half because only the top works in this module? Isn't it...

    Earthing neutral in a multi source system

    This has me clueless. Why must the neutral be unearthed at the transformer and generator and only allowed earthing at the switch-gear? I can't see any reason because the neutral will normally not be carrying any current and thus no parallel current paths would form.

    AC circuitry: basics of energy flowing and returning to its initial source (origin)

    Hellos In AC circuits, electrons flow from phase (live) and must return to neutral through a load (assuming single phase) just like the way in DC circuits where energy flows from + and return to - (supply terminal) hence "completing" the circuit and doing a significant job i.e glowing a lamp...
