Which outcome occurs when excessive harmonic currents are present in a three-phase power system neutral conductor?

💡 Explanation

When excessive harmonic currents are present, the triplen harmonics (3rd, 9th, etc.) from each phase add arithmetically in the neutral conductor, because they are in phase. Therefore, conductor overheating and potential failure results, rather than compensation, power factor improvement, or reduced imbalance, which involve different reactive components.
