← TechnologyWith 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.
