← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when backfeed energizes circuits after breaker trip?
A)Equipment experiences cascading overcurrent trip✓
B)Transformer efficiency improves dramatically
C)Feeder voltage imbalance is corrected
D)Insulation experiences localized rapid cooling
💡 Explanation
Cascading overcurrent trip occurs because backfeed can cause current flow exceeding branch circuit ampacity, triggering downstream breakers via differential current protection, therefore isolating the fault further, rather than improving components or causing insulation effects.
