for a balanced system ? no, cause 5th harmonics has purely negative sequence in balanced system, only zero sequences can flow. Unless the system is unbalanced, then only the 5th harmonics zero sequence component will flow in the neutral.

How much will neutral current be in a 3phase 4-wire y system with a balanced load?

Balanced load means no unbalanced currents, so the neutral current should be near zero.


Can the neutral conductor be downsized in a 3 phase electrical system?

Yes, you can reduce the neutral in a three phase system. you must figure the unbalanced current the neutral will carry and also make allowances for any harmonics that may be present.


What is the difference between neutral point and earthing?

Earthing point is where conductor is directly connected to ground and its potential is always zero. Neutral is a return path in single phase system and in three phase system Neutral point will have zero potential if all the loads are balanced in the system. In un balanced three phase system even neutral point will have some potential


You get high voltage and burn your appliances due to neutral failure?

It would happen in case of 3phase domestic use where consumer side load balancing is not being done and there is loose connection in the neutral wire. Due to the unbalance and poor neutral, the system neutral will be shifted and un balanced voltages will be recorded in all the 3 phases of the house. The phase loaded with much utilities will indicate less voltage and other will have high voltage. Gadgets connected to this phase will be damaged.


What is dangerous between odd and even harmonics?

The odd harmonic are the predominate harmonics, their current from each phase in a four-wire wye or star system will be additive in the neutral, instead of cancelling can result in current harmonic distortion levels over 30%.


What is fundamental of phase rotation in 3phase system?

The fundamental is defined as the primary frequency of the system. In other words the fundamental of a 60 hz system is 60 hertz x 1 = 60 hz In discussions involving harmonics is is common to see terms such as the 3rd harmonic. This means that it is a frequency that is 3x the fundamental or 180 hz.


Why neutral cross section is half the phase in three phase cable while it has to carry current of summation of all phase..?

The current carried by the neutral of a three phase four wire system is the un balanced current. If the three phase system was completely balanced on all three phases there would be no need for a neutral, eg a three phase motor. This neutral current will be less that the phase current so a reduction in the neutral size is allowed.


Why 3phase 4 wire system neutral current is zero when balanced load conditionwhere same current flow through the phase and neutral also?

Because the voltage in the three live wires is 'phased' by one third of a cycle, or 120 degrees, and if the three currents have equal amplitude they add up to zero in the neutral. When one line peaks at +1 amp, let's say, the other two are both at -0.5 amps and there is nothing in the neutral. That state of affairs remains the same at all parts of the AC cycle.


What is idmt over current relay with different plug setting multiplier?

Any nonlinear load on a system generates harmonics. Exampes are the magnetic core of a transformer or equipment which uses rectifiers to produce direct current. The triplen harmonics are unpopular because they add on a three-phase system, so they produce current in the neutral, which a three-phase system in balance does not.


What are harmonics in power distribution system?

Harmonics are a multiple of the fundamental frequency. If the power frequency is 60Hz, harmonics occur at 120Hz, 180Hz, 240Hz, etc.


What conductor does not carry current during normal operation?

In a three-phase power transmission system, the neutral conductor does not carry current during normal operation when the system is balanced. The neutral conductor is only used to provide a return path for unbalanced currents in the system and does not carry current when the system is operating under balanced conditions.


Why the neutral cable takes high current than the phase lines in three phase installation?

In a balanced three-phase system, the current in the neutral wire should ideally be minimal as the three phase conductors carry equal and opposite currents that cancel out in the neutral wire. However, if the loads are unbalanced, the neutral wire may have higher current due to the uneven distribution of power among the phases. This can happen when loads on each phase are different or when single-phase loads are connected between a phase and neutral, leading to increased neutral current.
