Which risk increases when operating a long, unterminated high-voltage transmission line?

💡 Explanation

Because capacitance exists along transmission lines, unterminated lines experience standing waves causing a voltage maximum at the open end. Therefore, capacitive coupling generates large surges rather than corona because of the distributed capacitance effect.
