Which outcome can occur in power transformers when operating above temperature limits due to ineffective heat dissipation?

💡 Explanation

Accelerated insulation breakdown occurs because elevated temperatures accelerate chemical reactions like oxidation within the transformer. This thermal degradation gradually weakens the insulation material, rather than improving electrical properties; therefore causing dielectric failure rather than improved electrical function.
