Within a three-phase power distribution network, which outcome occurs when an insulator fails in a substation's transformer, leading to increased leakage current?

💡 Explanation

Cascading voltage collapse initiates system-wide because the increased leakage current triggers protection relays, isolating the transformer but also overloading adjacent units; therefore voltage drops, initiating a widespread collapse rather than improved power factor because impedance imbalances worsen.
