← TechnologyWhich failure increases when utility grid load imbalances induce significant neutral currents?
A)Transformer core saturation✓
B)Transmission line sag
C)Generator voltage instability
D)Substation grounding faults
💡 Explanation
Transformer core saturates because excessive neutral current creates a DC bias, leading to increased magnetizing current through the core's B-H curve. Therefore, saturation is the most likely core failure, rather than line sag, which is a thermal expansion effect.
