← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a power transformer's OLTC malfunctions during load transfer in a substation?
A)Severe voltage regulation instability ensues✓
B)Harmonic resonance within grid increases
C)Phase imbalance causes equipment overheating
D)Reduced fault current leads to outages
💡 Explanation
Voltage regulation instability occurs because the tap changer *fails to adjust voltage* during load changes; therefore, voltage deviates from the set point, rather than other effects which may occur in other failure scenarios. The mechanism is *automatic voltage regulation*.
