Which failure occurs when a high voltage DC transmission line charges an underground cable's capacitance?

💡 Explanation

Dielectric breakdown can occur because charging the cable capacitance causes a high electric field stress across the insulator exceeding its breakdown strength. This results in insulation failure, rather than skin effect or corona which relate AC-specific phenomenon.
