Which risk increases significantly when a long, HVDC power transmission line experiences substantial corona discharge?

A)Electromagnetic interference with nearby circuits
B)Increased cable sag from thermal expansion
C)Mechanical resonance in support structures
D)Reduced power factor at the receiving end

💡 Explanation

Electromagnetic interference will increase because corona discharge generates broadband electromagnetic noise via ionization processes within intense electric fields; therefore, nearby circuits are disrupted rather than cable sag, which is affected by temperature, mechanical resonance relates to wind, and power factor is an AC phenomenon.
