Which risk increases when electrical transmission systems experience harmonic distortion?

💡 Explanation

Harmonic distortion elevates current peaks, stressing reactive components; because the **skin effect** increases losses at higher frequencies, increasing net reactive loading. Therefore reactive power amplifies, rather than voltage regulation or skin effect reduction which reduces reactive load in transmission of power.
