← TechnologyWhich transient behavior results when rapidly switching large inductive loads in a power grid sub-station?
A)Voltage harmonic amplification occurs rapidly
B)Ferroresonance-inductance causes voltage instability✓
C)Capacitive inrush creates reactive power surplus
D)Ground faults induce reverse currents feedback
💡 Explanation
Ferroresonance generates unstable oscillations because the nonlinear inductance of the transformer interacts with the grid capacitance, rapidly causing voltage instability; therefore ferroresonance represents a significant grid risk, rather than harmonic amplification.
