← TechnologyWhich catastrophic outcome follows if differential relay desensitization increases in power transformers?
A)Ground fault overcurrent increases unseen✓
B)Restoration after overload is incomplete
C)Inrush current trips system improperly
D)Voltage sag damages connected equipment
💡 Explanation
Unseen ground fault overcurrent happens because differential relay desensitization raises settings where fault current is undetected, thus avoiding breaker tripping, and therefore leading to escalated damage, rather than tripping on inrush, as this needs restraint.
