← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when harmonic currents circulate in three-phase power distribution systems due to connected non-linear loads?
A)Excessive neutral conductor current✓
B)Reduced transformer core saturation
C)Improved power factor at load
D)Decreased skin effect in wiring
💡 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.
