← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when adaptive reclosing is disabled on a three-phase power distribution system's circuit breakers?
A)Prolonged system instability results✓
B)Arc flash risk diminishes greatly
C)Transient voltage sag is bypassed
D)Transformer inrush current increases
💡 Explanation
Disabling adaptive reclosing causes prolonged system instability because automatic restoration fails after a temporary fault, rather than using 'dead time' before re-energizing. Therefore, the system remains offline longer, rather than quickly recovering, which happens when reclosing is functional.
