The presence of acetylene in transformer oil signifies that there is arcing occurring within the transformer. Arcing is a severe electrical discharge that generates extremely high temperatures, leading to the breakdown of the oil and the formation of acetylene gas. This is a serious condition that requires immediate attention, as it indicates a potential fault or failure within the transformer that could lead to catastrophic damage if not addressed promptly.
