Which outcome occurs when a three-phase power transformer's differential protection circuit breaker misoperates during an inrush current event?

A)False tripping leading to system instability
B)Transformer winding overheating due to saturation
C)Severe voltage sag across entire distribution grid
D)Harmonic resonance causing component failure

💡 Explanation

When the differential protection misoperates, a false tripping occurs because the inrush current is misinterpreted as an internal fault, disrupting the power supply. Therefore, false tripping and system instability result, rather than overheating, voltage sag, or harmonic resonance, which stem from different transformer issues.
