Which risk significantly increases when a cable's insulation degrades?

💡 Explanation

Reduced cable insulation causes increased capacitance because the dielectric gap narrows, therefore capacitive reactance drops. This admits higher alternating current flow through the capacitance, rather than a discharge because the voltage rating is unaffected.
