Which consequence results when thermal runaway occurs in multiple silicon carbide MOSFETs during short-circuit events in a solid-state circuit breaker?

💡 Explanation

A cascaded breaker system failure arises because thermal runaway increases MOSFET temperature, leading to decreased resistance and increased current, triggering other MOSFET failures; therefore a complete system collapse, rather than isolated performance degradation, occurs.
