Which consequence results when elevated temperature affects transformer oil?

💡 Explanation

Increased heat accelerates the oxidation reactions in the oil causing the mechanism of increased rate of dielectric breakdown; because the aging products act as charge carriers promoting failure modes, therefore dielectric breakdown increases rather than conductivity because temperature lowers the dielectric strength.
