Which outcome occurs when harmonic currents circulate in three-phase power distribution systems due to connected non-linear loads?

💡 Explanation

When non-linear loads connect, harmonic currents circulate because these loads draw current in a non-sinusoidal manner, increasing currents in the neutral conductor. Therefore, excessive neutral current results, rather than reduced saturation, an improved power factor or decreased skin effect which require linear load conditions.
