← TechnologyWhich outcome results from overcurrent in a shunt trip circuit?
A)Remote circuit breaker trip✓
B)Transformer core saturation occurs
C)Increased winding insulation breakdown
D)Compensating field strength cancellation
💡 Explanation
An overcurrent energizes the shunt trip coil, triggering the tripping mechanism because it creates a strong magnetic field that actuates the breaker. Therefore, the circuit remotely trips, rather than allowing sustained overload or other transformer maladies.
