Which consequence results when a three-phase autotransformer's tertiary winding breaker trips carrying unbalanced fault current?

A)Increased circulating harmonic currents
B)Suppressed inrush current magnitude
C)Enhanced voltage regulation accuracy
D)Reduced core saturation probability

💡 Explanation

Tripping of the tertiary winding breaker during unbalanced fault conditions causes increased circulating harmonic currents because the tertiary winding, acting as a delta connection, is no longer able to suppress zero-sequence currents. Therefore, harmonic current distortions rise rather than core saturation lessening.
