Which outcome occurs when ground fault occurs on distribution transformer secondary circuit?

💡 Explanation

When a ground fault occurs, a high fault current flows through the grounding path activating the overcurrent protection device, such as a circuit breaker, instantaneously due to exceeding its trip threshold.. Therefore overcurrent protection tripping results, rather than imbalance, core saturation, or resonance which require different conditions.
