← TechnologyWhich outcome arises when exceeding three-phase transformer's inrush current limit, causing temporary saturation?
A)Nuisance breaker tripping occurs✓
B)Harmonic distortion is eliminated
C)Core losses decrease significantly
D)Voltage regulation improves steadily
💡 Explanation
High inrush current saturates the transformer core, triggering the differential protection, because the resulting high current spike mimics a fault; therefore, nuisance breaker tripping occurs, rather than the system improving harmonic distortion.
