← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when significant current imbalance exists in a three-phase power transformer delta circuit?
A)Increased circulating current losses✓
B)Improved transformer overload capacity
C)Reduced harmonic current distortion
D)Enhanced system voltage stability
💡 Explanation
Increased circulating current losses occur because unbalanced currents lead to a substantial increase in the *zero-sequence current*, which circulates within the delta winding. Therefore, more heat is generated in the conductors, rather than being transferred efficiently, causing efficiency to drop.
