Which risk increases when a transformer's load suddenly drops?

💡 Explanation

Ferroresonance can occur causing large voltage oscillations, because the sudden reduction in load causes the inductive reactance and the winding capacitance to form a resonant circuit. Therefore, ferroresonance results rather than copper losses, which decrease with lower load.
