Which risk increases when a three-phase power system experiences sustained voltage imbalance?

A)Transformer overheating due to increased circulating current
B)Transmission line sag from increased ampacity
C)Circuit breaker tripping caused by phase reversal
D)Substation grounding failure from harmonic resonance

💡 Explanation

When voltage imbalance occurs, negative sequence currents flow in the windings because the imbalance creates an opposing magnetic field, leading to excessive heat and reduced efficiency. Therefore transformer overheating results, rather than line sag, circuit breaker trips or grounding failure which require entirely different imbalances and effects.
