Which equipment failure occurs when a power transformer's internal protection relay fails to activate during a short circuit fault?

💡 Explanation

A persistent overcurrent happens because the breaker tripping *circuit* does not activate; *differential protection fails*, leading to sustained fault current, which damages equipment. Therefore the overcurrent persists rather than being interrupted, while voltage and frequency remain affected downstream.
