I am currently going to college for electrical trades. We're learning about three-phase connections and transformers. I know that in a wye connection we derive a neutral from the center tap in the transformer. And the transformer is grounded so we have a reference point to ground. But do electrons ever flow through this ground down into the earth (other then when there are spikes or surges) or does the current just stay out of it because it wants to take the lowest resistance path back through the circuit. I'm probably just confusing myself and the answer is probably very simple but I seem to make things way more complicated than they actually are. If anyone could help out answering this thanks in advance.
