Which outcome occurs when harmonics resonate within power distribution systems containing capacitor banks?

💡 Explanation

When harmonics resonate within a power system, impedance matching occurs, leading to localized voltage magnification and excessive currents particularly at locations with capacitor banks, due to the interaction of the harmonics with system inductance and capacitance, causing component to fail. Therefore component failure results, rather than, stabilization which requires harmonic filters suppression, and fault tripping which requires external faults.
