Which outcome occurs when current exceeds instantaneous trip setting on a molded case circuit breaker in a three-phase power distribution panel?

💡 Explanation

Immediate breaker contact separation occurs via electromagnetic repulsion because the instantaneous trip setting detects short circuits. This triggers a magnetic field strong enough for rapid opening of main contacts, therefore quickly interrupting fault current, rather than a slower, heat-based response.
