Which outcome is most probable when a distribution transformer's cooling system fails in a three-phase power grid?

💡 Explanation

When a transformer's cooling system fails, conduction declines and winding temperature increases; this causes insulation degradation by thermal limit exceed, as thermal aging which leads to thermal runaway and insulation failure directly. Therefore, insulation breakdown occurs, rather than grid voltage sags due to load fluctuation.
