← TechnologyWhich risk increases when the breaker-failure protection system malfunctions in a large electrical substation?
A)Cascading breaker trip failures occur✓
B)Transformer core saturation risk increases
C)Increased harmonic current amplification results
D)Feeder voltage swell amplitude grows
💡 Explanation
A breaker-failure protection is essential because it quickly isolates faults by tripping upstream breakers when a downstream breaker fails to open. The protection operates through a *time overcurrent relay*. Therefore, cascading failures risk increases, rather than controlled isolation under primary faults.
