Which risk increases when lubricant viscosity drops severely in an oil-cooled transformer?

💡 Explanation

Core hotspots arise because decreased viscosity impairs convection, hindering cooling, due to viscous drag reduction. Impaired convection limits heat dissipation and hotspots occur. Therefore core heats rather than uniform temperatures with less viscous oil.
