← TechnologyWhich risk increases when attempting to reset a tripped ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) breaker without diagnosing the fault?
A)Cascading breaker failures downstream
B)Premature aging of connected devices
C)Electrical shock or electrocution✓
D)Reduced galvanic isolation performance
💡 Explanation
Attempting to reset a GFCI repeatedly without fixing the underlying fault increases risk of electrical shock or electrocution because the repeated 'resetting' disregards the **fault current protection mechanism**. Therefore, shock becomes imminent, rather than merely device failure.
