← ScienceWhich risk increases when a power transmission line's distributed capacitance rises?
A)Increased ferromagnetic core saturation
B)Elevated receiver end voltage✓
C)Reduced thermal runaway margin
D)Decreased conductor ampacity rating
💡 Explanation
Increased distributed capacitance elevates the charging current along susceptible lines, increasing the Ferranti effect; because this line charging phenomenon causes an overvoltage condition at unloaded ends, the receiver voltage rises rather than experiencing reduced ampacity because other effects dominate.
