← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a three-phase transformer bank experiences an open delta configuration due to a failed transformer?
A)Reduced output capacity and increased imbalance✓
B)Balanced voltage supply with increased efficiency
C)Overvoltage condition and core saturation
D)Harmonic current reduction and improved power factor
💡 Explanation
When one transformer fails creating an open delta configuration, the remaining two transformers must supply all the load, causing reduced capacity and increased voltage and current imbalance because the system is no longer symmetrical. Therefore, reduced capacity and imbalance results, rather than balanced voltage, overvoltage, or harmonic reduction which require other conditions.
