← TechnologyWhich equipment failure occurs when a power transformer's internal protection relay fails to activate during a short circuit fault?
A)Overcurrent condition persists indefinitely✓
B)Voltage sags initiate load shedding
C)Frequency becomes stable system-wide
D)Harmonic distortion self-corrects
💡 Explanation
A persistent overcurrent happens because the breaker tripping *circuit* does not activate; *differential protection fails*, leading to sustained fault current, which damages equipment. Therefore the overcurrent persists rather than being interrupted, while voltage and frequency remain affected downstream.
