← TechnologyWhich circuit behavior results when an inductive load's current is interrupted in an electrical power distribution system?
A)A voltage spike occurs upstream✓
B)Phase imbalance becomes self-correcting
C)Harmonic distortion is linearly reduced
D)Transformer core saturation is eliminated
💡 Explanation
A voltage spike occurs because interruption induces a rapid change in magnetic field established in the inductor. This *inductance discharge* causes a large voltage spike, rather than stabilizing the load or removing harmonics, therefore transient voltages threaten other downstream assets if poorly controlled.
