Which risk increases when thermal runaway occurs within distribution transformer's oil bath?

A)Catastrophic magnetic core saturation occurs
B)Accelerated dielectric breakdown appears
C)Impaired tap changer functionality results
D)Increased winding skin effect develops

💡 Explanation

Accelerated dielectric breakdown appears because thermal runaway intensely heats the insulating oil, initiating pyrolysis and bubble formation via dissolved gases; these vapor bubbles quickly decrease the oil's original insulating strength, therefore a dielectric breakdown is more probable, rather than impacting core saturation directly.
