What is meant by the neutral point? !

Definition of neutral point: In the windings of transformers and generators, there is a point at which the absolute value of the voltage between this point and each external terminal is equal; this point is the neutral point. When the power supply side (transformer or generator) or the load side is connected in a star configuration, the common point at which the beginning (or end) of the three-phase coils are connected together is called the neutral point, or simply the midpoint. Connecting the cable to the neutral point will prevent current from flowing out? !
Current flows at the neutral point when there is imbalance in the three-phase currents
Generally, the various phases cancel each other out, thus forming a zero point (neutral point).
In other words, the motor operates in a three-phase balanced state; if there are other single-phase voltages present, balance cannot be achieved.
That’s right; single-phase can’t be balanced.
Under normal three-phase balance, there is no current in the neutral point. However, since most loads are not evenly distributed, there is a certain voltage and current in the neutral wire. Therefore, it is now required to use a three-phase five-wire system, with the neutral point serving as the zero wire. An additional PE protection wire is installed separately; this PE protection wire does not carry any current, and it becomes charged only in the event of an accident or equipment leakage.
“The neutral point as the neutral wire”? The neutral wire isn’t a separate wire, right? Or is the neutral wire drawn from the neutral point?
In a three-phase five-wire system, the neutral wire is taken at the neutral point
