Which outcome occurs when transient voltage exceeds circuit suppressor limits?

💡 Explanation

Thermal runaway results if transient voltage protection is exceeded, because internal power dissipation increases exponentially with temperature via positive feedback, leading to destruction in the circuit; therefore, thermal runaway happens rather than stable operation as the suppressor's capacity is reached.
