← TechnologyIn a three-phase power system utilizing transformer differential protection, which outcome occurs when inter-turn fault arises inside the transformer winding?
A)Circulating current in delta winding✓
B)External overcurrent situation at relay
C)Spurious tripping caused by inrush
D)Harmonic resonance from saturation
💡 Explanation
Delta winding circulating currents increase because the zero-sequence currents are induced through the fault path, causing differential relay operation. Therefore, differential protection trips, rather than overcurrent or harmonic resonance induced by system imbalances.
