Which risk increases when a high-voltage DC transmission line's capacitance to ground sharply increases due to heavy rain?

💡 Explanation

When line capacitance rises due to rain, increased charge storage occurs because the dielectric constant of surrounding medium changes, escalating voltage transients during sudden switching. Therefore a voltage surge results, rather than corona discharge, transformer saturation, or compensation failure that originate from different grid phenomena.
