Which risk increases when an oil-filled transformer experiences elevated operating temperature?

💡 Explanation

When temperature rises in the oil-filled transformer, thermal decomposition of the oil occurs because high heat accelerates chemical reactions, thus lowering the dielectric strength. Therefore, dielectric breakdown results, rather than winding deformation, core saturation, or arcing which arise from different physical processes relating to mechanical stress, flux density or moisture.
