Which failure risk increases when a utility’s load changes rapidly?

A)Circuit breaker cascading failure
B)Transformer core saturation effects
C)Transmission line icing increases
D)Generator synchronous instability rises

💡 Explanation

Cascading failure in circuit breakers is more likely under high dI/dt because inrush current protection schemes may fail when power demand fluctuates rapidly; therefore one breaker trips, overloading others, rather than distributed changes in power flow alone causing other operational issues.
