← TechnologyWhich risk increases when transformer oil containment systems lack sufficient capacity during a rupture?
A)Increased risk of geomagnetic disturbance
B)Flash point increase in insulating oil
C)Environmental contamination from oil spillage✓
D)Increased generation of inrush current
💡 Explanation
When containment around a transformer fails post-rupture, environmental contamination occurs because the insulation oil (dielectric) spills and seeps, polluting surrounding areas. Therefore, environmental risk increases, rather than geomagnetic interference, flash point issues, or inrush current spikes, which involve unrelated mechanisms.
