Which risk increases when transient overvoltages affect aircraft electrical circuits?

💡 Explanation

An increased risk is flashover and fire because dielectric breakdown allows unintended current flow via ionization across insulation, rather than conductors only. Therefore, an arc flash fire is likely, rather than changes to flight efficiency alone.

• Which risk dramatically increases when attempting to synchronize an out-of-phase three-phase power grid involving closing a circuit breaker?
• Which outcome occurs when a hydraulic directional control valve experiences spool stiction at low temperatures?
• Which robot arm behavior results when a PLC incorrectly flags sensor data, producing unexpected joint angles?
• Which consequence results when a robotic arm's force sensor gives corrupted feedback?
• Which outcome occurs when a diaphragm pump used with a highly viscous fluid deadheads against a closed valve?
• Which consequence results when bird remains block pitot-static system inlets in flight?
