Which risk increases when a three-phase transformer bank experiences a single fuse failure on the primary side?

💡 Explanation

When a fuse fails, the transformer bank operates single-phased, creating voltage and current imbalances, because negative sequence currents flow through the windings increasing losses generating heat. Therefore winding overheating results, rather than harmonic distortion, arc flash, or insulation breakdown which require different trigger conditions.
