Which outcome occurs from excessive dielectric stress in underground power cables?

A)Capacitance increases producing thermal runaway
B)Reduced inductance minimizes transmission losses
C)Cable resonance enables greater energy
D)Skin effect reduces induced current flow

💡 Explanation

Capacitance increases leading to thermal runaway because dielectric breakdown causes a short and thus greater current and localized heating, therefore capacitance rises with temperature rather than inductance dropping because of skin effect or increased cable resonance.
