When a large inductive load, like an industrial motor, is switched off, which consequence results from breaker malfunction?

💡 Explanation

If a breaker fails to suppress interrupting current, significant induced voltage occurs because inductive kickback (flyback diode function missing) can cause destructive spikes; therefore, voltage spikes damage connected equipment rather than reducing eddy currents given the absent field collapse protection.
