Question:
Best resource available. Does the NEC allow a reduced neutral for a balanced 3 phase load? I was told this has been changed, where?
Thanks, Have a good day!!

Answer:
Hey Laddie thanks for your question and the kind words. Feeder and Service neutral loads are calculated using 220.61. You might be thinking about a change in the 2017 NEC to 310.15(B)(7). The neutral of single phase service and feeders supplied from 208Y/120 volt systems is now allowed to be sized using 310.15(B)(7)(4).
