← TechnologyWhich consequence results when the voltage withstand limit of a circuit breaker in a 13.8kV distribution substation is exceeded?
A)Insulation flashover occurs immediately✓
B)Arc quenching efficiency increases
C)Transformer core saturation reduces
D)Breaker contact resistance decreases
💡 Explanation
Flashover occurs because exceeding the insulator's dielectric strength causes uncontrolled current flow through the insulation; therefore, insulation breaks down and flashover happens, rather than efficient arc quenching, which needs a controlled environment.
