    The Effects To Consequential of Neutral Broken

    Uploaded by

    Yeison Stiven Jiménez Mejía
    When the neutral wire in a three-phase system is broken, it creates a floating neutral condition. This causes the phase voltages to rise to their maximum RMS values relative to ground, subjecting single-phase loads to highly fluctuating voltages. It also means currents will not return through the neutral wire, which can damage system loads or cause electric shocks. A broken neutral is usually caused by overloading the neutral conductor in an unbalanced three-phase system, where the neutral current is non-zero.

    On the other hand, the floating neutral condition is
    dangerous, because the currents will not return via neutral
    wire. This will can cause damage on the system´s load or
    provocate electric shock to the users, etc. But, the impact

    II. C AUSE OF BREAK


    A balanced three-phase system can to prescind of wire
    neutral, because neutral current is zero. However, in oposited
    case, is say, in a unbalanced three-phase system the neutral
    current is different to zero; therefore an overload in the
    neutral conductor would cause it to break [2], [3].
