Which outcome occurs when significant harmonic distortion exists on a three-phase power system?

💡 Explanation

When harmonic distortion exists, non-sinusoidal currents are introduced because nonlinear loads generate harmonic frequencies, summing in the neutral conductor. Therefore increased neutral current results, potentially overloading it, rather than reduced saturation, improved factor, or increased efficiency which are suppressed by harmonics.
