While operating near full capacity, which consequence results when harmonics overload a power transformer?

💡 Explanation

Harmonic currents cause increased core losses in the transformer due to eddy currents and hysteresis losses, therefore the core temperature increases, because iron losses scale non-linearly with frequency, rather than inductance decreasing or dielectric strength elevating.
