← TechnologyWhich failure in oil-filled transformers results when excessive winding inductance?
A)Arcing from overvoltage transients✓
B)Eddy current core magnetization
C)Dielectric oil viscosity increase
D)Reduced hysteresis energy losses
💡 Explanation
Arcing occurs because increased winding inductance amplifies voltage transients during switching due to *inductive kickoff*. Therefore, high voltage exceeds the oil's dielectric strength, rather than core magnetization or changing oil properties.
