← ScienceWhich risk increases when eddy currents circulate uncontrollably within a transformer core?
A)Overheating of the magnetic material✓
B)Reduced energy conversion efficiency
C)Increased hysteresis losses significantly
D)Disruptive harmonic frequency generation
💡 Explanation
Uncontrolled eddy currents induce resistive heating, because Joule heating converts electrical energy into thermal energy within the core. Therefore, overheating poses a major risk, rather than solely influencing efficiency (less directly) or harmonic frequency impacts.
