← TechnologyWhich risk increases when thermal runaway occurs in high-voltage circuit breaker batteries?
A)Control circuit malfunctions
B)Overcurrent trip failure✓
C)Arc flash incident
D)False positive breaker status
💡 Explanation
Overcurrent trip failure risks rise because thermal runaway elevates battery temperature damaging the shunt trip MECHANISM designed to trigger breaker opening on fault detection; therefore, the breaker might fail to operate quickly, rather than other electrical anomalies.
