why we generally use 3.5 core cable or in other word 1/2
core for neutral and also confirm me that in balance
conditiob(3 phase)current in neutral will zero

Answer Posted / dkmathur

In a three phase circuit theoritically there will be Zero
current in Neutral. But due to un-balancing of phases
practically phase voltage becomes unequal with the result
some current flows in neutral.That is why neutral is of
half rating only.
