Which risk increases when a three-phase motor control circuit experiences a single-phase condition?

A)Increased motor winding temperature
B)Decreased regenerative braking efficiency
C)Elevated harmonic distortion to the grid
D)Reduced power factor at the source

💡 Explanation

When a three-phase motor operates single-phased, current imbalance occurs due to loss of one voltage creating higher currents in remaining phases, leading to increased heat dissipation via I^2R losses in stator windings. Therefore, winding temperature increases, rather than altered braking, distortion or power factor which involve balanced three currents.
