Transformers do not perfectly convert power. Some energy is lost in the process. This energy heats the transformer. As the temperature rises it causes changes within the transformer which degrade performance. All transformers have a maximum safe operating temperature. They also have a maximum safe rate of temperature change under high instantaneous load conditions.
