Which risk increases when the breaker-failure protection system malfunctions in a large electrical substation?

💡 Explanation

A breaker-failure protection is essential because it quickly isolates faults by tripping upstream breakers when a downstream breaker fails to open. The protection operates through a *time overcurrent relay*. Therefore, cascading failures risk increases, rather than controlled isolation under primary faults.
