Which outcome occurs when a liquid-cooled electrical transformer experiences rapid depressurization?

💡 Explanation

The coolant will boil due to the suddenly decreased pressure through the mechanism of vaporisation induced by reduced total pressure. This causes a rapid phase transition, because the boiling occurs when vapour becomes easily favourable, rather than increased temperature.
