Concept

  • A three-phase load system is said to be a balanced load if the magnitudes of the phase currents are equal and the phase angles of the currents are 120° apart.
  • Phase current is equal (I= IB = IC), so no current flows through the neutral (I= IA +IB + IC).
  • If any one of the phase currents becomes zero, the three-phase load becomes an unbalanced load.


Explanation

qImage67b2e8948fc27b8a7d4cf32c

In the given figure, the phase A is open circuited. So, I= 0.

Thus the load is unbalanced and the current through the neutral is IN = IB + IC
