← TechnologyWhich risk increases when installing a three-phase power distribution system without proper neutral grounding?
A)Harmonic resonance amplification on conductors
B)Transformer core saturation from DC offset
C)Overvoltage on lightly loaded phases✓
D)Increased system power factor correction
💡 Explanation
Without proper neutral grounding, single-phase loads cause unbalanced currents generating voltage shifts because the neutral point floats. Therefore overvoltage results on lightly loaded phases from the neutral shift, rather than harmonic amplification, transformer saturation, or improved power factor, which require different system faults.
