← TechnologyWithin a wind turbine's nacelle transformer, which outcome occurs when thermal runaway overwhelms oil cooling?
A)Breaker trips due to overcurrent✓
B)Voltage regulation improves automatically
C)Ferrite core saturation is minimized
D)Capacitive reactance undergoes linearization
💡 Explanation
Excessive heat triggers increased winding current within the transformer, therefore a breaker trips due to detected overcurrent, rather than autoregulation or altering core properties. The protective action is breaker operation, because overcurrent results in the destruction of equipment.
