Which risk increases when substantial VAR compensation fails following transformer energization?

A)Resonant overvoltage propagates systemically
B)Core saturation reverses magnetization
C)Eddy current losses quickly abate
D)Thermal runaway prevents transformer use

💡 Explanation

Resonant overvoltage during transformer energization arises due to under-compensated reactive power. The energization causes a surge interacting with the system inductance creating oscillations, and without adequate VAR compensation, parallel resonance exacerbates the initial surge, therefore overvoltage results, rather than self-correcting eddy currents.
