Which failure in oil-filled transformers results when excessive winding inductance?

💡 Explanation

Arcing occurs because increased winding inductance amplifies voltage transients during switching due to *inductive kickoff*. Therefore, high voltage exceeds the oil's dielectric strength, rather than core magnetization or changing oil properties.
