← ScienceWhich risk increases when a transformer operates past rated voltage?
A)Core lamination eddy current losses✓
B)Increased dielectric oil contamination rate
C)Coil winding mechanical creep risk
D)Magnetic domain Neel vector fluctuation
💡 Explanation
Excessive voltage causes increased magnetic flux, which elevates core losses induced by eddy currents heating leading to higher temperature; this is because core saturation is reached, therefore eddy current losses increase rather than dielectric breakdown that requires sharp field gradients.
