Which disruptive effect appears when cascading circuit breakers open in a three-phase power distribution system?

💡 Explanation

When cascading breakers open, a sudden light load or open-circuit condition can initiate the Ferranti effect because line capacitance becomes dominant, causing a voltage rise at the receiving end. Therefore voltage elevation results, rather than harmonic amplification, impedance increase or current crowding, which require separate network conditions.
