Since we have shown that the neutral current is zero we can see that removing the neutral core will have no effect on the circuit, provided the system is balanced. Such connections are generally used only when the load on the three phases is part of the same piece of equipment (for example a three-phase motor), as otherwise switching loads and slight imbalances would cause large voltage fluctuations.

Yes, you are correct @Bhimesh.

As a considered KCL law incoming currents are equal to outgoing currents so the system balanced condition (IR=IY=IB=0). In this condition considered the neutral current is ZERO.

In 3 phase system balanced currents is equal to ZERO.

At balance condition Ia+Ib+Ic=0. So neutral current becomes zero.

Please explain this ans.

Memorized KCL.
INCOMING CURRENT = OUTGOING CURRENT.
i1+i2+i3 = i.
INCOMING CURRENT = OUTGOING CURRENT.
i1+i2+i3 = i.

As per KCL law the sum of the incoming current is equal to sum of the outgoing current in a balancing circuit three phase system.

The sum of current = to load current. So it is zero.

Because of neutral current = I1+I2+I3 becomes zero.
