← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when asymmetrical fault current stresses secondary transformer circuits?
A)Harmonic imbalances in voltage waveforms
B)Increased core saturation and overheating✓
C)Decreased leakage reactance temporarily
D)Uniform thermal stress in windings
💡 Explanation
Increased core saturation and overheating happens during asymmetrical faults due to the DC offset creating unidirectional flux. This is because the `DC magnetization` mechanism strongly affects transformer cores; therefore, saturation risk increases rather than harmonic issues or reactance changes occurring during symmetrical fault clearance.
