Which outcome occurs when a power transmission line shorts to metal support with high capacitance?

A)Increased system frequency destabilizes oscillation
B)Ferroresonance causes voltage amplification
C)Line impedance matches surge impedance
D)Skin effect diminishes current-carrying capacity

💡 Explanation

Ferroresonance causes voltage amplification, because magnetic flux saturates the metal structure and the capacitance with ground creates a lightly damped resonant circuit, therefore resulting in high voltages rather than typical ground fault overcurrents because only small currents are needed to sustain the effect.
