Which risk increases when operating a three-phase power distribution system with a sustained neutral current above design limits?

💡 Explanation

When a neutral current exceeds design limits, increased core saturation occurs in transformers because the unbalanced load currents generate a net magnetic flux in the core, driving it into saturation. Therefore transformer core saturation results, rather than elevated skin effect, harmonic resonance or corona discharge which require different load scenarios.
