[QUOTE="roys, post: 439311, member: 5044"] Because it is 3 phase magic 😀 Not being cheeky here but I don't know your background, Have you done any 3 phase theory? Very basically: The 3 phases are 120 degrees apart (which is due to the generator design) so take one moment in time, L1 would be at say 0 degrees then L2 would be at 120 degrees and L3 would be at 240 degrees. Now if the load on each one of them was equal then the resultant load that would travel down the neutral would be zero, this was proved in our college days was by drawing a vector diagram. [/QUOTE]
