Which risk increases when a distribution transformer's automatic recloser activates repeatedly?

💡 Explanation

Repetitive activation of automatic reclosers subjects the transformer to momentary inrush currents that generate intense localized heating due to magnetostriction. The overheating degrades insulation because this is a consequence of repetitive high-current events; therefore insulation breakdown is likely rather than alternative thermal or saturation changes.
