Technology

With power transformers protected by differential relays, which consequence arises when inter-turn insulation fails within a winding?

A)Increased circulating fault current
B)Higher core saturation harmonics
C)Elevated inrush magnetization current
D)Reduced transformer voltage regulation

💡 Explanation

Increased circulating fault current occurs because circulating current flows through the fault point, causing overheating, therefore increased fault current generates differential current causing unnecessary tripping, rather than magnetizing/inrush or improved regulation.
