Technology

Which mechanism causes widespread voltage sag when an urban electrical substation’s main breaker trips?

A)Cascading thermal overload tripping
B)Voltage swells absorbing excess current
C)Reduced inductive breaker impedance
D)Harmonic resonance amplifying imbalances

💡 Explanation

Cascading thermal overload tripping by increased current draw and reactive power imbalance initiates a cycle of stress on adjacent breakers; therefore, the system collapses, rather than stabilizing, because each breaker is thermally limited.
