Harmonic currents in a three-phase four-wire installation are troublesome chiefly because the triplen orders

  • A.add in the neutral rather than cancelling
  • B.cancel completely and leave the neutral unloaded
  • C.circulate only in the delta winding of the transformer
  • D.raise the power factor above unity

Answer: A

Third, ninth and fifteenth harmonics are in phase in all three lines, so they sum arithmetically in the neutral, which may then carry more current than the phases. A neutral sized as half the phase conductor overheats in such an installation.
