← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a three-phase distribution transformer lacks appropriately sized secondary circuit breakers during a single-phase fault?
A)Over-fluxing due to voltage imbalance✓
B)Harmonic distortion from core saturation
C)Bearing damage from mechanical resonance
D)Complete system failure due to cascading trips
💡 Explanation
When a single-phase fault occurs without adequate secondary breakers, voltage imbalance results because only one phase current increases dramatically, causing a flux imbalance and overfluxing of the transformer core. Therefore over-fluxing arises, rather than harmonic distortion, bearing damage or total collapse, which require symmetrical overload behavior within the distribution grid.
