← TechnologyWhich risk increases in a three-phase power transformer cooled by oil when under-sized circuit breakers fail to trip during an overload?
A)Accelerated oil degradation rate✓
B)Increased winding dielectric strength
C)Suppressed harmonic current distortion
D)Reduced tap changer contact erosion
💡 Explanation
Accelerated oil degradation occurs because increased continuous temperatures activate the thermal breakdown mechanism of the insulating oil under sustained overload. Therefore, cooling weakens, rather than preventing oil degradation with intact cooling or stronger breakers.
