Which failure occurs when a liquid-cooled transformer hits transient overpower?

💡 Explanation

When oil in a transformer overheats due to transient overpower it will undergo a liquid to gas phase transition (boiling). The mechanism of vapor-core corona discharge follows, because the gas bubbles form void areas that lower breakdown voltage, therefore increasing electrical arcing rather than providing adequate cooling.
