Which outcome results when a three-phase motor experiences a ground fault in one winding its windings circuit?

💡 Explanation

When a ground fault occurs, a current flows through an unintended path to ground via a ground fault circuit interrupter, because insulation failure causes voltage to short circuit, creating a current imbalance that most protection systems detect. Therefore the circuit trips, rather than balanced current or over-voltage which requires alternative grid faults and balanced motor operations.
