← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when three-phase transformer banks experience differential overcurrent?
A)Sympathetic breaker tripping cascades rapidly✓
B)Controlled islanding sustains local loads
C)Arc flash initiates system-wide failure
D)Inertial overload strains transformer windings
💡 Explanation
Sympathetic tripping appears because differential protection measures imbalances, therefore tripping breakers to isolate faults by "differential relaying", rather than allowing arc flashes. Inertial overloads may occur with motor starting but do not cause this cascade.
