Which outcome occurs when rapid over-voltage impacts transmission line capacitance?

A)Dielectric breakdown and energy release
B)Reduced skin effect mitigates surges
C)Increased capacitive reactance impedes current
D)Ferranti effect stabilizes voltage profile

💡 Explanation

Dielectric breakdown occurs because the electric field exceeds the dielectric strength of the insulator causing rapid energy release through destructive discharge; therefore breakdown, rather than voltage stabilization, occurs because of dielectric stress exceeding its max capability.
