Which outcome occurs in a three-phase power distribution circuit subjected to an underbalanced fault?

💡 Explanation

When an underbalanced fault occurs, an imbalance of currents induces a zero-sequence current due to asymmetrical loading and grounding, flowing back to the source along the neutral path. Therefore zero-sequence current appears, rather than decreased saturation, balanced voltage, or frequency collapse, which need specific over-voltage and overload scenarios.
