Which outcome occurs when reactive power load unduly increases on a generator?

💡 Explanation

Voltage collapse occurs because increased reactive power demand leads to voltage instability through excessive voltage drop in transmission lines, creating a cascading failure; therefore, voltage dramatically declines, rather than improving stability or mitigating line losses if the reactive power flow remained within limits.
