Which outcome occurs when a distribution transformer's internal fault diverts current and exceeds a molded-case circuit breaker’s Interrupting Capacity?

💡 Explanation

The MCCB cannot clear the fault because fault current exceeds its rating, therefore the exceedingly high energy causes catastrophic failure and dangerous arc-flash, rather than tripping successfully, or core/fluid degradation affecting transformer operation.
