Technology

Which risk markedly escalates when exceeding transformer's inrush current limits when power supplied switches to an unloaded circuit?

A)Premature component aging accelerates notably
B)Hysteresis losses decrease exceptionally fast
C)Core saturation decreases momentarily
D)Eddy current effects diminish greatly

💡 Explanation

Accelerated aging happens because excessive magnetic flux excites the transformer's core during inrush, driving it past its saturation limits. Therefore, core stress increases faster during repeated saturation cycles, rather than improved hysteresis due to component stress.
