Which outcome from imbalanced line impedances disproportionately affects a three-phase power system?

💡 Explanation

When line impedances are significantly imbalanced, negative sequence currents arise. Negative sequence currents flow in generators causing increased neutral current flow because this current returns through the neutral path to balance the currents. Therefore, increased neutral current results, rather than alternative effects which depend on balanced conditions.
