Which outcome occurs when a three-phase power system experiences single-phasing condition?

💡 Explanation

When single-phasing occurs, current increases drastically in the remaining phases because the same power must be delivered with fewer phases, leading to excessive heating and potential motor damage through increased I^2R losses. Therefore overheating of motors results, rather than harmonic distortion, improved power factor, or reduced flicker, which relate to entirely separate power quality issues.
