Which outcome occurs when increased reactive power loads cause a voltage collapse in a power grid?

A)Increased transmission line insulation breakdown
B)System-wide frequency instability cascade
C)Harmonic distortions minimize filter effectiveness
D)Transformer core saturation exacerbates heating

💡 Explanation

A voltage collapse leads to frequency instability because under-voltage load shedding activates in response to falling voltage, which then reduces generation, exacerbating under-frequency; therefore a frequency instability cascade follows rather than isolated component stress, given network interdependencies.
