Which outcome occurs when excessively worn diverter contacts in a high-voltage tap-changing transformer cause sustained arcing?

💡 Explanation

Excessive arcing generates high temperatures, causing oil decomposition. This leads to increased dissolved gas formation via the chemical reaction of the oil with the arc plasma, because the temperature enables bond cleaving; therefore, gas bubbles increase, rather than improving insulation properties.
