FACTORS OF FAILURE According to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) there might be several factors that can trigger a transformer failure:- The sudden surge when they’re burdened with more energy than their capacity.
- Lightning strikes can also cause the transformers to overload, resulting in an explosion.
- A faulty wire may also be a reason.
- The mineral oil that is used as a cooling agent may caught fire due to the melting of circuits which occurs as a result of overload.
- SHOCK
- ELECTROCUTION
