Which outcome occurs when a power-distribution transformer under a heavy inductive load experiences a sudden interruption of current?

💡 Explanation

An inductive kickback will result; because the collapsing magnetic field induces a large voltage spike due to self-induction. This elevated voltage can damage insulation; therefore overvoltage will result, rather than core saturation which occurs with excessive steady-state current.
