← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when significant harmonic currents circulate in rectifier circuits?
A)Transformer core experience elevated hysteresis✓
B)Increased diode reverse recovery time
C)Smoothing capacitor ESR decreases substantially
D)Inductor saturation diminishes unexpectedly
💡 Explanation
Core saturation leads to elevated hysteresis losses because harmonic currents cause increased and distorted magnetic flux density within the transformer's core. Therefore, excessive heat is generated, rather than benefiting rectifier diode response, smoothing capacitor parameters, or inductor properties.
