Which risk increases when temperature significantly exceeds a power transformer's design limit, and the built-in protection breaker fails?

💡 Explanation

Insulation degradation accelerates because thermal runaway overwhelms cooling leading to dielectric failure by bond breakage rather than controlled energy dissipation. Therefore risk increases; rather than overcurrent alone, a catastrophic failure could ensue if the protection breaker fails.
