Which outcome occurs when a transformer's impedance is mismatched in a parallel substation?

💡 Explanation

Unbalanced circulating current arises between transformers due to unequal impedance sharing because the **current division principle** dictates that current distributes inversely proportionally to impedance. Therefore, one transformer overloads rather than distributing the load evenly, and other transformers may be underutilized.
