Which consequence results when an inadequately sized isolating circuit breaker interrupts a charging current in a large capacitor bank?

💡 Explanation

Contact welding increases because transient recovery voltage (TRV) magnitude exceeds the breaker's interrupt rating. The extremely rapid dv/dt of the TRV overwhelms the breaker's *dielectric recovery*, therefore preventing complete arc extinction rather than a clean break.
