  8. Cascading failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascading_failure

    Cascading failure is a common effect seen in high voltage systems, where a single point of failure (SPF) on a fully loaded or slightly overloaded system results in a sudden spike across all nodes of the system. This surge current can induce the already overloaded nodes into failure, setting off more overloads and thereby taking down the entire ...
