← TechnologyWhich protective action is performed by inverse time circuit breakers?
A)Faster response at higher fault✓
B)Limiting voltage transient magnitude
C)Isolating ground fault neutralizer
D)Balancing reactive power demand
💡 Explanation
The operating time decreases as the fault current increase, because inverse time circuit breakers employ thermal or electromagnetic induction to trip faster at higher currents; therefore, severe faults are cleared quicker, rather than being delayed like standard breakers for coordination.
