← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs more readily when reactive power compensation fails on a long three-phase power transmission line?
A)Voltage collapse nears the load✓
B)Conductor temperature always decreases
C)Transformer core saturation increases
D)Ferranti effect decreases upstream
💡 Explanation
Voltage collapse risk increases near the load because excessive reactive power demand causes the transmission line's voltage profile to droop via increased current, impacting the line's impedance; therefore voltage support is lost rather than conductor cooling, core saturation, or reduced Ferranti charging.
