Which outcome arises with a broken neutral conductor in a three-phase, four-wire electrical distribution system?

💡 Explanation

When the neutral conductor breaks, impedance imbalances cause voltage fluctuations, leading to unequal phase voltage distribution because current return path is compromised. Therefore unequal distribution occurs, not power factor improvement, harmonic reduction, or balanced faults, which require functional neutral connection.
