Which outcome happens when a three-phase circuit breaker trips due to a sustained overcurrent fault?

💡 Explanation

When a breaker trips on one phase during a sustained fault, phase imbalance occurs because the load is no longer evenly distributed across the three phases, increasing mechanical stress. Therefore, increased motor vibration results, rather than voltage sag, transformer saturation, or harmonic distortion, which arise under balanced overload conditions.
