Solid. Liquid. Gas. Then there’s plasma. Most people think of it as something found in stars. Inside a high-voltage transformer, it’s something far worse. When mineral oil insulation fails, an electric arc forms — creating a superheated plasma bridge between components. Temperatures spike hotter than the surface of the sun, all inside a sealed steel enclosure. This isn’t a spark. It’s a catastrophic phase shift that can turn a multi-million-dollar asset into a pressurized bomb in milliseconds. I
