Which consequence results when circulating currents overheat transformer windings?

A)Increased core lamination separation
B)Formation of hot-spots zones
C)Dielectric oil polymerization increases
D)Reduced magnetic flux linkage

💡 Explanation

Hot spots are created because eddy current losses induce localized heating within the windings; hysteresis amplifies the thermal gradient. Therefore winding insulation degrades faster, rather than core damage; dielectric defects are results of arcing from over-voltage.
