In a three-phase power system utilizing transformer differential protection, which outcome occurs when inter-turn fault arises inside the transformer winding?

💡 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.
