Which risk increases when supplying a capacitive load substantially beyond a distribution transformer's rated kVA?

💡 Explanation

Resonance and voltage instability increase because large capacitive loads interact with the transformer’s inductive reactance to create a lightly damped resonant circuit; therefore, oscillations occur, which creates voltage instability, rather than the other options.
