← ScienceWhich consequence results when reactive power overwhelms transmission line capacitance?
A)Ferranti effect voltage escalation✓
B)Skin effect current reduction
C)Dielectric breakdown field collapse
D)Corona discharge power dissipation
💡 Explanation
A large proportion of reactive power leads to the Ferranti effect, whereby voltage at the receiving end increases because of capacitance charging, therefore voltage escalation causes equipment damage, rather than issues related to only current or localized breakdown.
