Which consequence results when impedance discontinuities amplify standing wave reflection in power transmission lines?

💡 Explanation

Increased voltage from standing waves because of constructive interference across the line causes enhanced electric fields leading directly to dielectric breakdown, therefore option A is correct, rather than other effects which would occur under normal operating circumstances.
