← TechnologyWhen a large inductive load, like an industrial motor, is switched off, which consequence results from breaker malfunction?
A)Voltage spikes damage equipment.✓
B)Increased eddy current losses.
C)Resonance frequency increase.
D)Decreased power factor values.
💡 Explanation
If a breaker fails to suppress interrupting current, significant induced voltage occurs because inductive kickback (flyback diode function missing) can cause destructive spikes; therefore, voltage spikes damage connected equipment rather than reducing eddy currents given the absent field collapse protection.
