← TechnologyWhich risk increases when a three-phase induction motor breaker trips due to overcurrent after an extended overload period?
A)Stator winding insulation breakdown rapidly✓
B)Increased rotor bar cracking likelihood
C)Increased efficiency when re-energized
D)Reduced starting torque temporarily occurs
💡 Explanation
When the breaker trips after a prolonged overload, thermal stress compromises the stator winding insulation due to cumulative heating effects during the overload then further voltage spikes during switching. Therefore, insulation breakdown results rather than cracking, efficiency increases or torque reduction require different operational conditions.
