Failures in power transformers are commonly caused by severe overload operation, short circuits due to winding insulation degradation, aging of transformer oil, excessive contact resistance at connections or tap changers, failure of high- or low-voltage fuses to operate during external short circuits, core damage, internal arcing in oil, and lightning strikes.Since transformers are filled with insulating oil, fires can have severe consequences—ranging from oil spraying and ignition to, in extrem
