Which risk increases when a heavily inductive motor is switched off if transient voltage suppression is absent within its supplying electrical circuit?

💡 Explanation

Arcing damage to switch contacts increases because inductive loads resist sudden current changes, and a large voltage spike is generated by *inductive flyback* collapsing the magnetic field when the circuit is opened. Therefore, switch contacts are damaged, rather than the minor impacts on other parameters.
