← TechnologyWhich process protects a transformer under overload conditions?
A)Differential relay trips the breaker✓
B)Harmonic filtering reduces distortion
C)Capacitor banks improve power factor
D)Automatic tap changers regulate voltage
💡 Explanation
A transformer's differential relay detects imbalances between currents, actuating breaker trips during overload to prevent damage because `differential protection` isolates the fault, therefore averting thermal runaway, rather than optimizing power quality directly.
