Which unstable system outcome results when a large power transformer experiences ferroresonance?

A)Harmonic voltage amplification, overheating
B)Localized winding insulation breakdown
C)Increased eddy current core losses
D)Elevated short-circuit withstand capability

💡 Explanation

Harmonic voltage amplification occurs because the nonlinear magnetizing inductance, coupled with system capacitance, forms a resonant circuit, thereby amplifying harmonic currents and causing transformer overheating; therefore harmonic amplification, rather than improved system stability, develops under a resonating state.
