Which outcome occurs when the neutral wire is disconnected in a three-phase power distribution circuit supplying unbalanced loads?

💡 Explanation

Voltage imbalance and equipment damage occur because a floating neutral causes a **voltage divider effect**, creating unequal voltage distribution across phases. Therefore, some equipment receives over-voltage, and others under-voltage, causing potential damage rather than simply affecting efficiency because the loads are unbalanced.
