← TechnologyWhich risk increases when three-phase power system filter capacitor bank capacitance exceeds design limit?
A)Resonant harmonic amplification occurs✓
B)Transformer core saturation intensifies
C)Switchgear contact erosion accelerates
D)Transmission line sag drastically increases
💡 Explanation
When capacitance exceeds design limits, resonant harmonic amplification occurs because the system's impedance characteristics change, creating a lower impedance path for particular harmonic frequencies. Therefore increased harmonic distortion results, rather than core saturation, contact erosion, or line sag, which require different triggering conditions.
