← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a differential relay misinterprets magnetizing inrush current in a power transformer?
A)Spurious breaker tripping occurs✓
B)Transformer core saturation worsens
C)Increased harmonic distortion appears
D)Decreased transformer winding impedance
💡 Explanation
Spurious tripping arises because the differential relay interprets inrush as a fault, activating circuit breakers through its protection logic; therefore, interrupting power service rather than maintaining stability if it were an over-flux; magnetizing inrush occurs during energization.
