← TechnologyWhich consequence results when rapid closing of a heavily inductive electrical circuit causes transient voltage overshoot?
A)Insulation dielectric stress increases✓
B)Eddy current diminishes rapidly
C)Harmonic distortion remains stable
D)Power factor immediately improves
💡 Explanation
Insulation stress increases due to inductive kickback. The inductance opposes changes in the flowing current called back electromotive force. Because the circuit attempts to maintain constant current flow, rather than experiencing reduced stress from stable voltage.
