Which outcome occurs when harmonic currents increase in a power distribution circuit connected to variable frequency drives?

💡 Explanation

Increased harmonic currents can lead to transformer core saturation because the frequencies distort the established sinusoidal flux, which increases the B-H curve traversal; therefore, core saturation occurs, rather than improved power factor, which relies on minimizing reactive power flows.
