Which consequence results when breaker failure occurs due to delayed arc extinction in a medium-voltage switchgear?

💡 Explanation

Overvoltages damage insulation because the delayed arc extinction causes voltage escalation during switching transients, therefore, insulation stress increases; rather than eddy current increases or cascading failures resulting, successful arc quenching is crucial.
