Which consequence results when transformer saturation occurs due to a DC current component in a three-phase power distribution system?

💡 Explanation

Harmonic distortion increases because transformer saturation results in non-linear magnetization currents. Specifically, the **Non-linearity of Magnetic Permeability** causes the applied voltage to produce a distorted current. Harmonics increase, rather than improving power factor, because excessive current degrades power quality rather than enhancing regulation.
