Which risk increases when a capacitor bank in a high-voltage DC transmission system exceeds its design capacitance?

A)Increased inrush current amplitude
B)Decreased transient voltage suppression
C)Enhanced power factor amplification
D)Minimized parasitic inductance losses

💡 Explanation

Increased design capacitance results in lower impedance path, triggering increased inrush current amplitude because of transient oscillation during initial energization; therefore choice A, rather than others which describe steady state or filtering under differing constraint mechanisms.
