← TechnologyWhich consequence results when inductive inrush occurs in transformers?
A)Increased mechanical winding stress✓
B)Elevated circulating eddy currents
C)Decreased reactive power consumption
D)Harmonically filtered output voltage
💡 Explanation
Increased mechanical winding stress occurs because the magnetizing inrush current's large amplitude causes substantial electromagnetic forces, which stress the winding insulation; therefore, mechanical stress on the core is amplified rather than diminished currents because the iron core saturates.
