Which outcome occurs if the grounding electrode conductor corrodes significantly in a substation?

💡 Explanation

Corrosion of the grounding electrode raises ground impedance, degrading voltage clamping during lightning events. This causes a spike in prospective transient voltage because impedance increases rather than dissipating energy efficiently; therefore an overvoltage results.

• Which outcome occurs when a hydraulic actuator driving an aircraft's flight control surface experiences excessively high-frequency command signals?
• Which outcome occurs when an evaporator's external frosting condition blocks airflow in a refrigeration system?
• Which outcome occurs when grid transformer banks experience unexpected reactive power demand across unbalanced three-phase systems?
• Which risk increases when a retractable aircraft landing gear's actuators experience reduced hydraulic pressure nearing touchdown?
