In a balanced three-phase system with a neutral line, the neutral current (fundamental component) should be equal to One advantage of balanced three-phase systems over separate single-phase systems is reduced capital and operating costs of transmission and distribution. A three-phase power system is shown in a single-line diagram below. The power factor of the generator is Solution 3. (b) zero 4. (a) True 5.(a) 0.8 lagging.
