← TechnologyWhich outcome characterizes cascading failure in electrical grids following overload?
A)Protective relay miscoordination occurs.✓
B)Harmonic resonance amplification is amplified.
C)Increased reactive power compensation arises
D)Demand-side management becomes synchronized
💡 Explanation
Operational protective relays are desynchronized, because a small disturbance leads to the failure of multiple network components simultaneously, overwhelming circuit breakers through protective relay miscoordination. Therefore, network stability is compromised with subsequent overloads, rather than power quality issues if properly maintained and coordinated.
