← TechnologyWhich risk significantly escalates when three-phase power transformer breakers are tripped sequentially in a multi-transformer distribution network?
A)Overvoltages from the Ferranti effect✓
B)Increased eddy current losses
C)Higher skin effect resistance
D)Reduced dielectric breakdown margin
💡 Explanation
Overvoltages from the Ferranti effect become significant because sequential breaker operation interrupts inductive current unevenly, exciting resonant frequencies in transmission lines; therefore, voltage will increase, rather than alternative behaviors within the transformer itself due to the delayed disconnection.
