Which consequence results when water intrusion breaches transformer oil's limit?

💡 Explanation

The oxidation reaction accelerates because hydrolysis cleaves ester bonds, forming acids promoting oxidation—a process known as saponification. Therefore, insulation degrades via sludge formation, rather than improved dielectric strength under wet conditions.
