Which outcome occurs when exceeding a transformer nameplate's volt-ampere rating on a 480V to 120V step-down unit?

💡 Explanation

Increased core saturation and heat occurs because the increased current drive the magnetic flux density higher; this flux clipping causes increased harmonic generation. Therefore, the core overheats, rather than exhibiting improved power factor and noise reduction offered by the transformer within rated limits.
