Which consequence results when transformer saturation occurs due to a DC current component in a three-phase power distribution system?

A)Increased harmonic distortion in voltage
B)Improved power factor correction ability
C)Decreased core temperature uniformly
D)Enhanced system voltage regulation accuracy

💡 Explanation

Harmonic distortion increases because transformer saturation results in non-linear magnetization currents. Specifically, the **Non-linearity of Magnetic Permeability** causes the applied voltage to produce a distorted current. Harmonics increase, rather than improving power factor, because excessive current degrades power quality rather than enhancing regulation.
