Which cascading instability results when protective impedance relay settings are improperly coordinated across interconnected transmission lines?

💡 Explanation

Uncoordinated settings cause impedance relays to trip lines unnecessarily during faults, leading to successive outages via **load shedding**, because increased reactive power demand drives down voltage causing more lines to trip therefore propagating voltage collapse, rather than stabilizing the network within limits.
