Which consequence results when a utility-scale transformer exceeds capacitance limits?

💡 Explanation

Dielectric breakdown causes a cascading failure because the electric field exceeds the insulation's ability to withstand it, leading to arcing and rapid degradation; therefore the dielectric breakdown occurs, rather than hysteresis or saturation in a properly rated transformer system under normal operational constraints.
