Which outcome results following dielectric breakdown in HVDC capacitor banks?

A)Complete energy storage system failure
B)Increased capacitive reactance modulation
C)Reduced filter harmonic amplification
D)Enhanced transmission network synchronization

💡 Explanation

Dielectric breakdown causes localized conduction via the avalanche effect through the capacitor; because this increases current uncontrollably and melts the dielectric, the capacitor short-circuits, therefore the bank fails entirely rather than modulating the signal or enhancing synch.
