Which outcome occurs on a three-phase power transformer when one phase winding develops a short circuit?

💡 Explanation

When one phase winding has a short circuit, the impedance drops dramatically, causing high circulating currents due to unbalanced phase voltages, rapidly overheating the transformer core. Therefore, high circulating currents occur, as opposed to frequency issues, voltage balance or harmonic improvements from other failures.
