← ScienceWhich 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.
