← TechnologyWhich risk increases when rapidly switching between taps on a power transformer?
A)Insulation oil breakdown
B)Increased eddy current loss
C)Core saturation effects✓
D)Elevated winding temperature
💡 Explanation
Core saturation increases because the volt-second product during the tap change causes temporary imbalance, driving the core into saturation; therefore saturation, rather than standard losses, is elevated due to this transient rather than steady-state effects.
