In a ring distribution system, if one section of the ring experiences a fault and is disconnected, how does this affect the voltage drop at the loads connected to the remaining operational sections?

  1. ((a))

    Voltage drop fluctuates randomly due to load redistribution. 

  2. ((b))

    Voltage drops decreases as the fault reduces overall system impedance.

  3. ((c))

    Voltage drop remains unchanged since power is still supplied from two directions.

  4. ((d))

    Voltage drops increases because the system now operates like a radial system in that section.
