← TechnologyWithin power transformers during rapid grid voltage changes, which consequence results when excessive magnetizing inrush current saturates the core?
A)Nuisance tripping of protection circuits✓
B)Optimal regulation of output voltage
C)Increased transformer cooling efficiency
D)Harmonic resonance in transmission lines
💡 Explanation
Nuisance tripping occurs because magnetizing inrush causes a substantial DC component in the current waveform, triggering differential protection circuits. Therefore, these circuits falsely detect an internal fault, rather than normal transformer operation after voltage swings.
