Technology

Within a high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system utilizing gas circuit breakers, which condition most reliably triggers transient voltage instability?

A)Sudden inductor saturation
B)Unexpected load rejection
C)Gradual capacitor discharge
D)Transformer core lamination failure

💡 Explanation

Unexpected load rejection increases DC link voltage; therefore, the Gas Circuit Breaker's (GCB) interruption generates high-frequency oscillations due to distributed inductance and capacitance of the line and converter transformers, rather than inductor saturation which changes impedance.
