← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when significant harmonic distortion contaminates electrical grid systems?
A)Increased skin effect in conductors✓
B)Improved transformer core excitation
C)Reduced neutral conductor current
D)Decreased power system oscillations
💡 Explanation
Increased skin effect occurs because harmonic currents cause higher frequency components therefore leading to increased current concentration near conductor surfaces rather than reduced. This outcome results because of frequency dependencies. Therefore, increased losses, not improved transformer performance occur rather than reduced neutral current.
