← ScienceWhich mechanism prevents capacitive voltage spikes during microgrid switchgear operation?
A)Arc suppression using magnetic blowout✓
B)Capacitor bank impedance synchronization
C)Harmonic current injection cancellation
D)Superconducting fault current limitation
💡 Explanation
Arc suppression is employed because magnetic blowout increases the arc resistance, therefore limiting current flow and reducing voltage build-up, rather than relying on impedance matching or harmonic cancellation which address power quality problems.
