Why there is 0V in 3 phase voltage source in star configuration?

WBahn, I don't agree with your comments in post #19. For the star point to be at the same potential as the neutral (If it exists.) of the supply the loads must be the equal.
I think the TS's lack of understanding of things is that he does not work things out himself to confirm his understanding. He has not responded since I asked him to do the calculation in post #16 for phase 1 at 30 degrees. I would have expected him to do that calculation then try a few more random values.

Let me say it again: "In his circuit, the currents in the load always sum to zero whether the loads are balanced or not. They have to because his star point is only connected to the loads."

Yes what i meant to say was that the currents are all equal with a balanced load as well as summing to zero. The intent was to reduce the significance of the voltages and instead turn to the currents.
