← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when transient voltage exceeds circuit suppressor limits?
A)Avalanche breakdown causes energy dissipation
B)Thermal runaway creates progressive impedance✓
C)Dielectric heating minimizes pulse duration
D)Radiative cooling maintains stable capacitance
💡 Explanation
Thermal runaway results if transient voltage protection is exceeded, because internal power dissipation increases exponentially with temperature via positive feedback, leading to destruction in the circuit; therefore, thermal runaway happens rather than stable operation as the suppressor's capacity is reached.
