← TechnologyWhich effect occurs when the impedance misconfigures in a 3-phase delta-wye distribution transformer?
A)Circulating currents in delta winding✓
B)Balanced voltage in wye winding
C)Reduced core saturation effects
D)Minimized harmonic current distortion
💡 Explanation
Circulating currents occur because impedance imbalances within the delta winding of the transformer create voltage differentials. This action causes current to flow within the closed delta loop, therefore producing overload, rather than even voltage due to cancellation within the phases.
