Which consequence results when impedance mismatches concentrate in a buried electrical power distribution system?

💡 Explanation

Localized overheating occurs because standing waves from impedance mismatches increase current density via constructive interference of signals; therefore, heat increases insulation breakdown. Rather than harmonic resonance, mismatch concentrates power dissipation at specific locales due to signal reflection.
