← TechnologyWithin 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.
