← TechnologyWhich risk distinctly increases in three-phase power systems when a single-pole circuit breaker trips under load?
A)Harmonic current injection increases steeply
B)Transformer core saturation becomes pronounced
C)System-wide voltage sag amplitude elevates
D)Motor overheating escalates from phase imbalance✓
💡 Explanation
When a single-pole circuit breaker trips, phase imbalance occurs because the load becomes unevenly distributed across the phases, leading to significant negative sequence currents in motors. Therefore motor overheating results, rather than harmonics, saturation, or voltage sag, which rely on other distinct system conditions.
