sorry my mistake so in case of fault in vehicles how it is handled since return path to earth is not available?
In a house sytem the return current should be to Neutral. Current to earth should trip an earth fault interrupter.
In a vehicle the return current is via the vehicle bodywork.
Earth ground in a service supply is required for safety, in an automobile at 12vdc this is not a consideration.sorry my mistake so in case of fault in vehicles how it is handled since return path to earth is not available?
Yep!! I hate these topics.... All AC current goes to earth....Technically "Neutral" is connected to "Earth" at your junction box.
. battery with its negative connected to vehicle chassis that is generally called ground return.

Technically!! Neural isn't connected in your fuse / junction box ( or here in England it isn't ) ... The Electricity supply Co. has to deal with at the local sub station.... Originally a metal spike was driven into mother earth, this was your return...
