Which 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.
