Which outcome occurs when a power transformer's internal winding insulation fails at a high-voltage substation?

A)Differential current imbalance trips breakers
B)Increased capacitance affects impedance matching
C)Eddy current losses lower efficiency
D)Arc flash initiates corona discharge effects

💡 Explanation

A differential relay trips the circuit breaker as a result of turn-to-turn fault. Because the fault current differs greatly from the input on healthy phases, current differential mechanism activates a trip; therefore the substation protects itself, rather than propagating over-voltage problems.
