← TechnologyWhich risk increases significantly when high-voltage circuit breakers fail to interrupt?
A)System-wide cascading power outage✓
B)Localized component overheating rapidly
C)Transformer core saturation increases damage
D)Insulation resistance breakdown occurs slowly
💡 Explanation
A breaker failing allows fault currents to continue, enabling **cascading failure** because these high currents stress the grid's stability, therefore shutting down interconnected segments, rather than localizing issues, which is what properly functioning breakers accomplish.
