← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when reclosing high voltage transmission line breakers?
A)Transient voltage magnitude overshoots increase✓
B)Transmission line impedance immediately decreases
C)Ferranti effect significantly diminishes
D)Breaker arcing current rapidly decreases
💡 Explanation
Transient overvoltages increase upon reclosure because high-frequency oscillations are superimposed onto the steady-state voltage by the suddenly applied voltage step across an inductive line. Thus, voltages increase, rather than remaining stable under load conditions.
