Which destructive outcome occurs in power transmission networks given increasing reactive power load?

💡 Explanation

Increased reactive power causes raised voltage stress; the resulting ionization uses `corona discharge` due to strong electric fields, which degrades insulating materials. This causes arcing; therefore, leading to gradual catastrophic failure rather than the Ferranti effect under light load.
