Which risk increases substantially when thermal runaway compromises a three-phase motor's individual circuit protection?

💡 Explanation

A thermal runaway affects one phase, potentially disabling its circuit breaker. This causes remaining phases to carry the higher load, initiating cascading breaker trip failure because of exceeding current thresholds; therefore, full system shutdown occurs rather than phase rebalancing or limited component overheating.
