    Current at Star Point on WYE generator

    OK, so far I've been told that there is no current at the star point. But I'm still not convinced. My reasoning is that, according to Kirchoff(?), Current at any point in a circuit is identical to any other point in the same circuit. So how can full current be coming out of the high voltage...
