Which consequence results when exceeding dielectric capacitance limits in HVDC transmission?

A)Corona discharge increases near conductors
B)Line impedance catastrophically phase advances
C)Systematic dielectric breakdown spontaneously occurs
D)Ferranti effect negligibly impacts voltage magnitude

💡 Explanation

Dielectric breakdown occurs because exceeding the dielectric strength of capacitor insulation leads to ionization and conductive paths forming–– the mechanism of dielectric breakdown. Therefore, insulation fails rather than corona alone, under stated excess conditions.
