Which risk increases when a high voltage DC transmission line experiences sustained corona discharge in humid conditions?

💡 Explanation

Corona discharge creates ionized gas; thus, nitric acid forms with humidity, causing conductor corrosion due to electrolytic action. This is accelerated conductor erosion, because this form of electrochemical reaction occurs at higher electric fields, rather than other interferences.
