SUMMARY
In power systems, a balanced load refers to an equal distribution of electrical load across all three phases of a transformer, ensuring that the neutral point remains at zero. An unbalanced load occurs when the load connected to each phase differs, leading to a non-zero neutral point. This imbalance can also manifest in distribution transformers, affecting overall system stability and efficiency.
