← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a dielectric saturates within an HVDC capacitor?
A)Increased leakage current develops rapidly✓
B)Reduced partial discharge inception voltage
C)Enhanced capacitance versus temperature stability
D)Higher equivalent series resistance develops gradually
💡 Explanation
Rapid leakage develops due to increased charge carrier availability, where dielectric saturation causes increased electrical conductivity. Therefore, leakage rises swiftly because of field exceeding material limits, rather than the alternative gradual aging or stabilization effects.
