Which risk increases when a substation transformer reaches maximum magnetizing current?

💡 Explanation

Increased magnetizing current leads to core Saturation, creating excessive magnetic flux. This saturation triggers localized electric field enhancements because the **dielectric breakdown** threshold is locally exceeded, therefore resulting in a higher failure risk of insulation, rather than minimizing losses under expected load profiles.
