← TechnologyWithin 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.
