← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a surge exceeds a distribution transformer's BIL?
A)Reduced core hysteresis losses
B)Insulation dielectric breakdown✓
C)Increased eddy current formation
D)Enhanced voltage regulation ability
💡 Explanation
Insulation fails because the dielectric breakdown mechanism weakens the insulation under intense electric fields. Therefore, destructive arcing occurs, rather than hysteresis changes, because the impulse voltage surpassed the insulation's withstand capability.
