Which outcome results when tap changer failure occurs in an oil-immersed power transformer?

💡 Explanation

Tap changer failure leads to arcing because of mechanical wear or contamination, which causes intense heat. This heat rapidly decomposes the surrounding oil via dielectric breakdown, therefore creating flammable gases and carbon buildup rather than resonance, winding hotspot, or tertiary ferroresonance.
