Which consequence results when a high-voltage transmission line experiences insulator flashover?

💡 Explanation

High-voltage insulator flashover creates low-impedance arcs, causing substantial ground fault currents because the breakdown ionizes the air around insulators. This ionisation generates a path for excessive current therefore amplifying the effect rather than corona discharge being limited.
