Try switching them around and see what happens. Disclaimer: if you choose to experiment with this without finding out first the difference between them, then you should bear the responsibility for your own foolishness.

Change the name of the "ground" to "equal potential wire/point" and "neutral" to "return conductor" and you should get your answer.

Neutral is the return conductor which is connected to star point at transformer side and when it is connected to pit called ground. The earth is giving us protection against electrical leakage and ensure the safe working environment.
