← TechnologyWhich risk increases when repeatedly resetting a tripped circuit breaker?
A)Temporary voltage sag propagates outward
B)Breaker contact welding probability increases✓
C)Transformer core saturation lowers efficiency
D)Harmonic current injection into the grid
💡 Explanation
Repeatedly resetting a tripped breaker raises the risk of contact welding because the inrush current upon closure pits the contacts and overheats them; therefore, increased weld probability, rather than grid effects may occur at individual residential circuits.
