In a three-phase power transformer, which event results when the differential relay activates main circuit breakers?

💡 Explanation

Differential protection trips breakers because it detects a current imbalance indicating an internal fault condition due to winding insulation breakdown, therefore isolating faulty transformer sections, rather than overvoltage or external faults handled by other protection schemes.
