If the consumers metalwork is not bonded to the neutral a direct earth fault would result in a current of 20 amps flowing.This fault current will probably be carried by a 16 amp fuse or citcuit breaker and returned to the neutral via electrodes this will force the neutral conductor up to a potential of 200 v above earth this is known as neutral inversion
