Which consequence results when differential relays misinterpret inrush current in distribution transformers during transformer energization in large power systems?

💡 Explanation

A differential relay compares currents; inrush current mimics an internal fault. This leads to a *false positive lockout*, as the protection scheme trips because the relay incorrectly detects a fault. Therefore a lockout occurs rather than continued operation because the inrush is filtered.
