Which outcome occurs when transmission line impedance increases abruptly on a utility grid?

💡 Explanation

An abrupt impedance increase creates a large voltage drop, triggering `Protection System Malfunction` because current surges beyond circuit breaker capacity; therefore, escalating to cascading failures, rather than localized faults or self-corrected voltage sags under normal protective schemes.
