Which outcome occurs when reclosing high voltage transmission line breakers?

💡 Explanation

Transient overvoltages increase upon reclosure because high-frequency oscillations are superimposed onto the steady-state voltage by the suddenly applied voltage step across an inductive line. Thus, voltages increase, rather than remaining stable under load conditions.
