← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when transformer's core lamination insulation fails under load?
A)Increased eddy current losses and heating✓
B)Reduced magnetizing inductance and saturation
C)Elevated dielectric stress within the winding
D)Harmonic distortion due to core asymmetry
💡 Explanation
When lamination insulation fails, it allows current to flow between laminations, leading to increased eddy current because of decreased resistance in the core. This higher current dissipation generates heat. Therefore increased eddy current losses and heating result, rather than inductance changes, dielectric stress, or harmonics which arise from other transformer faults.
