Which outcome results when standing waves form on HVDC transmission lines?

💡 Explanation

Standing waves cause voltage antinodes, resulting in heightened voltage magnitudes. This increases dielectric stress because the higher voltages intensify the electric field, therefore increased risk of insulator failure, rather than lower stress under stable voltage.
