Which risk increases when an autotransformer operates continuously above its nameplate kVA in a power grid?

💡 Explanation

Core saturation risk escalates because exceeding kVA limits in an autotransformer forces the magnetic core into deeper saturation during each AC cycle. Therefore core saturation is increased, rather than structural galloping, which is a high-wind transmission line condition.
