When a toroidal transformer's winding insulation degrades, which failure arises?

💡 Explanation

Insulation failure within the windings causes increased current flow due to partial shorting; because fewer turns carry proportionally more current therefore intense localized Joule heating arises which rapidly degrades adjacent insulation rather than merely impacting inductance.
