← TechnologyWhich operational risk increases substantially when an inductive AC motor operating from a three-phase power system experiences significant incoming voltage imbalances?
A)Elevated motor winding overheating✓
B)Increased torque ripple magnitude only
C)Decreased harmonic current injection
D)Transformer core lamination saturation
💡 Explanation
Unequal supply voltages induce negative sequence currents, and this `negative sequence impedance` causes significantly higher current flow in certain motor windings disproportionately, because the impedance is relatively lower. Therefore, winding overheating is the major issue, rather than torque pulsations or core issues.
