Which transformer failure risk greatly increases given sustained substation over-voltage?

💡 Explanation

Core saturation increases dramatically during sustained over-voltage from the power grid due to increased magnetizing current. Hysteresis in the core increases non-linearly leading to severe harmonic distortion of voltage, because the B-H curve becomes non-linear, rather than alternative insulation breakdown or loss mechanism increases.
