← TechnologyWhich risk increases when reactive var compensation inadequately corrects transmission-line voltage sags during heavy inductive loading of an electrical grid?
A)Cascading voltage collapse occurs✓
B)Increased transmission line corona discharge
C)Transformer core saturation intensifies
D)Synchronous generator hunting decreases
💡 Explanation
Cascading voltage collapse risk escalates due to positive feedback; the decreased voltage increases current draw, intensifying the sag and spreading across interconnected areas because reactive power injection lags, therefore causing voltage collapse rather than sustaining voltage, as voltage support infrastructure becomes overwhelmed.
