- 1The healthy line becomes electrically open, causing its voltage and current to instantly rise to infinity.
- 2No change, as lines are magnetically isolated.
- 3A transient overvoltage across the faulted line due to reflected wave propagation from the healthy line.
- 4Redistribution of current and an increase in current through the healthy line.✓
Correct answer
Redistribution of current and an increase in current through the healthy line.
