Which outcome occurs when a differential relay misinterprets magnetizing inrush current in a power transformer?

💡 Explanation

Spurious tripping arises because the differential relay interprets inrush as a fault, activating circuit breakers through its protection logic; therefore, interrupting power service rather than maintaining stability if it were an over-flux; magnetizing inrush occurs during energization.
