Technology

Which outcome occurs when magnetic saturation occurs non-uniformly in a power transformer core during unbalanced load conditions?

A)Increased transformer core eddy current losses
B)Improved voltage regulation near full load
C)Decreased harmonic distortion in output
D)Enhanced reactive power compensation capability

💡 Explanation

Elevated eddy current losses often result because non-uniform saturation in the transformer core forces increased circulating currents within the lamination. Therefore, core heating escalates, rather than reducing losses, as would occur under balanced or unsaturated conditions with normal flux distribution.
