Which outcome occurs when a DC circuit breaker experiences excessive reverse voltage?

💡 Explanation

Excessive reverse voltage in a DC circuit can surpass the breaker's reverse blocking voltage, causing rapid dielectric breakdown of the insulator structure because the voltage stress exceeds design values. Therefore, the insulator fails catastrophically, rather than maintaining its isolating properties.
