What do you expect i guess the insulation resistance will increase.kindly tell what is the method used for testing.
Oil insulation property decreases with more usage(making and breaking-arc) due to the increase in carbon content.
If the transformer cannot withstand the applied test voltage at both ambient and at normal operating temperatures, then it is faulty.
