← TechnologyWhich risk increases when excessively frequent energization of a power transformer at slightly below 50°C ambient occurs?
A)Winding insulation cracking✓
B)Arc flash ignition probability
C)Open circuit fault current
D)Reduced frequency harmonic resonance
💡 Explanation
Frequent energization, especially with temperature variation, induces mechanical stress on the transformer winding due to magnetostriction, thus causing cumulative fatigue. This leads to potential winding insulation cracking, because the mechanical vibrations weaken the insulation over time, therefore creating failure points, rather than alternatives like arc flash which relate to other overvoltage causes.
