Ground and neutral line should be at the same potential, because from a big perspective the metrical line is somewhere connected to the ground, but because this happens at huge distances, some parasitic effect creates a little difference in potential between our local ground and the neutral line. This difference is typically about 6V.

6 FAQs about [Capacitor neutral ground]
Can a capacitor bank be grounded?
This question often arises, and the answer is usually no for the following reasons: • Grounded capacitor banks can interfere with a facilities ground fault protection system and cause the entire facility to lose power (main breaker trip).
Is a capacitor a ground terminal?
The capacitor is for EMI filtering, it is there to reduce common mode noise. Yes they are ground terminals. One is the ground reference for unisolated mains input side, the other one is the ground reference for isolated low voltage output side. Therefore it must be of special type for safety reasons, the type is called an Y capacitor.
Why are shunt capacitor banks not grounded?
