← TechnologyWhich risk increases when electrical transmission systems experience harmonic distortion?
A)Increased reactive power consumption✓
B)Reduced surge impedance loading
C)Minimized skin effect losses
D)Stable voltage regulation operation
💡 Explanation
Harmonic distortion elevates current peaks, stressing reactive components; because the **skin effect** increases losses at higher frequencies, increasing net reactive loading. Therefore reactive power amplifies, rather than voltage regulation or skin effect reduction which reduces reactive load in transmission of power.
