Which risk increases when a medium-voltage circuit breaker repeatedly interrupts inductive currents?

💡 Explanation

When circuit breakers interrupt inductive currents repeatedly, inductive kickback occurs because energy stored in the inductor is released as a voltage spike when the current is abruptly interrupted. Therefore, overvoltage results, rather than melting, capacitance resonance, or harmonic distortion whose mechanisms differ.
