Which risk increases when a ferromagnetic core transformer undergoes sustained high-frequency operation?

💡 Explanation

Increased core losses occur because high-frequency operation enhances eddy current induction in the ferromagnetic core, causing resistive heating through Joule heating; therefore, A is the correct answer, rather than B, C or D which describe effects that reduce loss.
