← TechnologyWhich risk sharply increases within electrical substation transformers when internal fault current exceeds circuit breaker interrupting capacity?
A)Transformer winding insulation failures
B)Sudden oil tank rupture and fire✓
C)Incorrect relay tripping operations
D)Accelerated winding hot spot development
💡 Explanation
When fault current exceeds breaker capacity, the fault continues unchecked because the breakers cannot interrupt it, leading to rapid overheating. Therefore, a tank rupture and resultant fire is most likely, rather than insulation failure, relay error, or winding hotspots, which require sustained current within equipment tolerances.
