Which risk increases when an interconnected three-phase power grid experiences low damping?

💡 Explanation

Low damping causes increased oscillatory instability; power swings between generators then diverge due to a lack of *damping torque*. Therefore, cascading failures via resonance become more likely, rather than stability improvements or harmonic reduction, because energy cannot dissipate effectively.
