← ScienceWhich risk increases when a transmission line's reactive power compensation significantly lags?
A)Cascading voltage collapse occurs✓
B)Ferranti effect is magnified
C)Skin effect losses escalate rapidly
D)Corona discharge diminishes sharply
💡 Explanation
Cascading voltage collapse becomes likely because insufficient reactive power support leads to further voltage drops, and the process accelerates due to increased line current from under-voltage tap changers; therefore, voltage collapses, rather than any local line effects, result within larger grids.
