← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a three-phase transformer experiences a delta-wye winding configuration fault?
A)Increased transformer core saturation
B)Elevated circulating currents in windings
C)Harmonic voltage distortion on output✓
D)Phase displacement on output voltage
💡 Explanation
When a delta-wye transformer has an unbalanced load or winding fault, harmonic currents flow due to the configuration's inherent impedance imbalance, leading to harmonic voltage distortion. Therefore harmonic distortion results, rather than saturation, circulating currents, or phase displacement, each requiring different fault conditions and transformer characteristics.."
