Which consequence results when harmonic currents overload neutral conductors in a multi-wire branch circuit?

💡 Explanation

Harmonic currents, especially the third harmonic, add in the neutral conductor because they are co-phasal, causing increased current flow and therefore elevated neutral conductor temperatures due to resistive heating, rather than reducing voltage distortion which requires filters.
