Which transformer fault consequence increases when a distribution network experiences continuous arcing faults?

💡 Explanation

Arcing faults cause prolonged high-frequency overvoltages, thereby, accelerating insulation oil breakdown because dielectric stress increases due to partial discharge activity. Therefore, insulation failure is faster, rather than stable eddy current or nonexistent changes to the resistivity and tap changer motors.
