Which risk increases when a ground fault develops in a three-phase transformer's secondary circuit without proper grounding?

💡 Explanation

When a ground fault occurs without proper grounding, the fault current lacks a defined path back to the source because of high impedance, causing an increase in the voltage potential between neutral and ground. Therefore, elevated voltage potential results, rather than saturation, reduced lifespan, or decreased efficiency, which involve other failure mechanisms.
