Which unwanted outcome arises as frequency increases in high-voltage power transformers?

A)Increased eddy current losses
B)Reduced core saturation effects
C)Decreased dielectric breakdown risk
D)Enhanced magnetic field confinement

💡 Explanation

Increased frequency elevates inductive reactance in the core, intensifying circulating currents; consequently, eddy current losses upsurge because of increased Joule heating losses in the core material. Therefore, energy waste increases, rather than field containment which lowers core efficiency.
