Technology

Which risk increases when insufficient magnetizing impedance exists in a large power transformer causing sympathetic breaker tripping?

A)External winding fault escalation
B)Phase-sequence voltage reversal
C)Overexcitation leading to core saturation
D)Cascading system-wide instability

💡 Explanation

Overexcitation risk increases because insufficient impedance increases the magnetizing current leading to **magnetic saturation**. Breaker misoperation happens because harmonic currents from the nonlinear core distort the voltage therefore misinterpreting fault conditions rather than relaying true faults.
