← ScienceWhich risk increases when a transformer's load suddenly drops?
A)Ferroresonance inducing voltage oscillations✓
B)Increased copper losses in windings
C)Core saturation reduces inductance
D)Accelerated insulation material degredation
💡 Explanation
Ferroresonance can occur causing large voltage oscillations, because the sudden reduction in load causes the inductive reactance and the winding capacitance to form a resonant circuit. Therefore, ferroresonance results rather than copper losses, which decrease with lower load.
