Which outcome occurs when unbalanced load increases neutral conductor current in a three-phase system?

💡 Explanation

When unbalanced load significantly increases neutral conductor current because current that is meant to distribute over three phases, becomes heavily concentrated in the neutral this shifts the magnetic flux inducing transformer overheating. Therefore core saturation results which can lead to damage, rather than decreased power factor, created harmonic distortion which originate from non-linear loads inside electric motors.
