Why doesn't neutral wire give a shock?
But what about when there's a fault in the system? Shouldn't it still give a shock then?
Good question! If there's a fault in the system, the current will still take the path of least resistance, which is through the ground rather than the neutral wire. This means the potential difference between the neutral and the ground will remain low, even in the event of a fault.
