Which risk increases when continuously interrupting fault current using vacuum breakers?

A)Transient voltage escalation occurs
B)Arc quenching efficiently weakens
C)Contact resistance greatly diminishes
D)Dielectric strength increases greatly

💡 Explanation

Because repetitive interruption generates steep current chops causing transient voltage escalation due to trapped magnetic energy needing dissipation. Therefore, overvoltage stress endangers insulation rather than allowing improved quenching or reduced contact resistance because that is not the dominant effect here during continued use .
