← ScienceWhich risk increases when a high-voltage transformer experiences prolonged over-excitation?
A)Increased capacitive core saturation
B)Decreased dielectric oil breakdown
C)Increased eddy current core heating✓
D)Decreased magnetic field fringing
💡 Explanation
Core heating escalates because prolonged over-excitation elevates the magnetic flux density, driving saturation and increased eddy current losses; therefore localized overheating exceeds design tolerances, rather than merely influencing capacitance or manageable dielectric changes, under typical conditions.
