Which risk increases when a power transformer in an urban substation experiences a sudden and extreme shift in reactive power load?

💡 Explanation

Core saturation increases because large reactive power creates excessive magnetic flux. This flux forces operation outside its normal linear range, leading to increased magnetostriction and mechanical stresses; therefore core damage becomes possible rather than simply eddy current losses.
