Technology

Within a three-phase power distribution system, at transformer substations, which increased risk results when impedance differences exist?

A)Circulating current overheating windings
B)Reduced capacitive coupling efficiency
C)Harmonic resonance transformer vibrations
D)Increased core hysteresis eddy losses

💡 Explanation

Unbalanced impedance causes unequal current flow, stressing phases and producing circulating current, because the **impedance mismatch** dictates current distribution in parallel transformer windings. Therefore windings overheat rather than maintain thermal equilibrium across all phases because balanced impedance would minimize circulating currents.
