Which malfunction results when harmonics distort a three-phase motor circuit?

💡 Explanation

Increased stator winding temperatures rapidly degrade insulation because harmonic distortion injects higher frequency currents into the motor circuit, leading to increased copper losses via skin effect. Therefore, overheating occurs, rather than other effects due to fundamental frequency behavior.
