Which outcome occurs when a power transformer with solid-state circuit breakers experiences sustained inrush current after energization?

💡 Explanation

When sustained inrush current exceeds the breaker's programmed thresholds, the solid-state breaker’s algorithm may misidentify it as a fault condition instead of temporary overcurrent, leading to nuisance tripping and breaker malfunction. Therefore breaker malfunction results rather than saturation, harmonics, or voltage sag which involve different transformer operating regimes.
