Which risk increases when transformer core lamination insulation degrades in a high-humidity environment?

💡 Explanation

When core lamination insulation degrades, especially in humid conditions, eddy currents increase because the laminations short together, creating conductive loops within the core. Therefore eddy current losses rise, rather than winding issues, oil breakdown, or arc flash which require different environmental or electrical fault conditions.
