Which electrical discharge risk increases when operating a power transformer at higher frequencies?

💡 Explanation

Operating at elevated frequency leads to reduced inductive reactance, therefore stray capacitance creates resonant circuits. This produces voltage spikes and increases the risk of dielectric breakdown, rather than harmonic saturation which would result from overvoltage.
