Insulation resistance of high voltage circuit breakers is more than________________?

Correct answer: C. 100 mega ohms

  • A. 1 mega ohms
  • B. 10 mega ohms
  • C. 100 mega ohms
  • D. 500 mega ohms

Explanation

High-voltage circuit breakers require very high insulation resistance to prevent leakage and flashover across open contacts; the conventional minimum cited in such questions is above 100 megaohms. This makes 100 megaohms the intended threshold.
