Which risk increases in a power grid when large transformers experience excessive VAR demand?

💡 Explanation

Excessive VAR demand forces transformers to operate beyond their reactive power capacity, which leads to a voltage drop; consequently reactive power supply diminishes due to mutual coupling effects, therefore inducing a system-wide voltage collapse, rather than local effects or impedance stabilization.
