In a three-phase distribution transformer supplying unbalanced residential loads, which mechanism introduces circulating currents in the delta winding?

💡 Explanation

Zero sequence impedance mismatch allows zero sequence currents to flow, because a closed delta winding provides a path for these currents rather than being blocked. Therefore, localized heating occurs, rather than balanced current distribution through available phases.
