← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when magnetic saturation limits current transformer accuracy?
A)Spurious breaker tripping arises✓
B)Over-voltages damage transformer windings
C)Phase imbalances escalate rapidly
D)Harmonic distortion becomes unmanageable
💡 Explanation
Spurious breaker tripping arises because during magnetic saturation, the **magnetizing inductance** decreases, causing incorrect secondary current readings which the protective relay misinterprets as a fault; therefore, the breaker trips, rather than protecting the equipment under normal conditions.
