Which outcome occurs if the grounding electrode conductor corrodes significantly in a substation?

💡 Explanation

Corrosion of the grounding electrode raises ground impedance, degrading voltage clamping during lightning events. This causes a spike in prospective transient voltage because impedance increases rather than dissipating energy efficiently; therefore an overvoltage results.
