Which consequence results when a power transformer's cellulose insulation degrades excessively?

💡 Explanation

Dielectric breakdown causes short circuiting because the cellulose insulation's increased conductivity due to degradation reduces its dielectric strength, leading to arc formation and current flow through the insulation. Therefore, failure occurs, rather than magnetic saturation or eddy current increases, which happen with core changes.
