← ScienceWhich risk increases when distributed generation injects harmonics into a power grid?
A)Transformer core saturation occurs earlier✓
B)Protection relay mis-operation decreases rapidly
C)Voltage sag magnitude exhibits stability
D)Conductor thermal capacity becomes stabilized
💡 Explanation
Transformer core saturation occurs because harmonic currents increase the peak flux density, leading to a lower saturation threshold via the mechanism of magnetic core hysteresis. Therefore, core saturation is accelerated, rather than other effects, because harmonics directly affect the magnetic properties of the core.
