← TechnologyWhich outcome results when a distribution transformer's secondary breaker trips repeatedly under normal load?
A)Transformer core lamination degradation
B)Inrush current surge from breaker cycling
C)Accelerated coil insulation breakdown✓
D)Increased harmonic distortion feedback upstream
💡 Explanation
When a breaker trips repeatedly, excessive heat cycling occurs in the transformer coil because rapid temperature changes stress insulation leading to cracks and reduced dielectric strength. Therefore, accelerated coil insulation breakdown is the correct outcome, rather than lamination degradation, current surge, or harmonic distortion which involve different mechanisms.
