Which consequence results when thermal runaway occurs in interleaved DC-DC converters within high-power systems?

A)Catastrophic system-wide overcurrent failure
B)Localized voltage sag on one inductor
C)Oscillation in average inductor current
D)Marginal increase in conductor skin effect

💡 Explanation

Catastrophic system-wide overcurrent failure can follow thermal runaway, due to the positive temperature coefficient increasing MOSFET conduction because it feeds on itself in a destructive “avalanche”, therefore multiple parallel converters fail, rather than being confined.
