In a poly phase circuit if clamp on meter shows same load
on three phases and their sum on neutral then why we use
three and a half core cable or maximum the same size of
core as that of phase?

Answer Posted / k.prakashchandra

The neutral current is the vector sum of phase currents and
for a balanced load ,it is zero.
