← ScienceWhich consequence often results when a high-voltage transformer experiences insulation breakdown?
A)Uncontrolled magnetic field amplification occurs
B)Arcing initiates within the transformer✓
C)Capacitance increases across windings
D)Wave reflections generate harmonic distortion
💡 Explanation
Arcing initiates because reduced insulation resistance permits unintended current flow, resulting from dielectric breakdown and forming ionized channels. The voltage flashover path causes localized heating, therefore arcing occurs rather than magnetic field amplification or changing capacitance where no breakdown exists, or wave distortion which requires high-frequency variations.
