When a toroidal transformer's winding insulation degrades, which failure arises?

A)Increased eddy current power loss
B)Reduced leakage inductance performance
C)Localized overheating escalates rapidly
D)Complete collapse from core saturation

💡 Explanation

Insulation failure within the windings causes increased current flow due to partial shorting; because fewer turns carry proportionally more current therefore intense localized Joule heating arises which rapidly degrades adjacent insulation rather than merely impacting inductance.
