Answer / umesh kumar

If urLoad is balanced in three Phase supply system Neural
current is Zero . neutral current is always depend on the
Unbalance load. So in Case of 3 phase system neutral wire
taken half of Main wire.
but in case of 1 phase supply system neutral is the return
cunductor and phase current will be equal to neutral curent.
so In 1 phase neural would be of same size.
