← TechnologyWhich risk increases when operating a three-phase power distribution system with a sustained neutral current above design limits?
A)Increased core saturation in transformers✓
B)Elevated skin effect in conductors
C)Harmonic resonance in transmission lines
D)Corona discharge around insulators
💡 Explanation
When a neutral current exceeds design limits, increased core saturation occurs in transformers because the unbalanced load currents generate a net magnetic flux in the core, driving it into saturation. Therefore transformer core saturation results, rather than elevated skin effect, harmonic resonance or corona discharge which require different load scenarios.
