Which consequence results when a power transformer's delta-wye connection experiences core saturation?

A)Increased inrush current occurs
B)Improved voltage regulation results
C)Reduced harmonic distortion appears
D)Decreased reactive power absorption

💡 Explanation

Core saturation arises when excessive voltage creates a disproportionate magnetic flux, activating the inrush current protection mechanism, because of the nonlinear magnetizing inductance; therefore, very high initial current draw is observed, rather than controlled voltage as intended.
