← TechnologyWhich consequence results when a transformer's protection circuit repeatedly trips?
A)Winding insulation thermal breakdown✓
B)Core saturation magnetic instability
C)Increased eddy current losses
D)Reduced hysteresis power dissipation
💡 Explanation
Repeated tripping indicates overcurrent stressing the insulation via joule heating; the eventual outcome is winding insulation thermal breakdown because increased temperature accelerates degradation. Therefore breakdown occurs, rather than core saturation or altered core losses under normal operating temperatures.
