This might help...

"The advantage of this approach will be to minimize

bearing currents and leakage currents to ground."

It alters the shape of the "phasor diagram" according to whichever element is "in control"; but then all the lengths and angles are still correct.

The neutral is there to carry the imbalance current. Its voltage will differ from the earth voltage by the current multiplied by its resistance - assuming an IT earthing system is not present.
