← TechnologyWithin substation transformers undergoing high reactive power load fluctuations, which outcome occurs when tap-changer inertia prevents rapid voltage adjustments?
A)Increased system voltage instability margin
B)Elevated transformer core saturation risk✓
C)Minimized harmonic current amplification
D)Reduced circulating current suppression
💡 Explanation
Core saturation risk elevates because tap-changer *hunting* creates sustained over-fluxing. The induced EMF increases far above normal, therefore, driving the core into magnetic saturation, rather than mitigating voltage fluctuations.
