Which condition leads to differential relay mis-operation during power transformer energization?

A)Inrush current with harmonic content
B)Balanced three-phase fault current
C)High-frequency switching transients
D)Transformer core saturation due to overvoltage

💡 Explanation

Mis-operation arises because inrush current contains significant harmonic components that mimic fault conditions. Harmonic blocking uses harmonic restraint within the differential relay, therefore preventing tripping due to inrush, rather than responding to symmetrical fault conditions.
