The 10 pages that link to Cascading failure, each with the reason it gives.

• Critical infrastructureRelated: Infrastructure interdependencies can turn a local outage into wider service loss.

• Electrical gridRelated: Overloaded lines and protective trips can spread a local grid disturbance.

• Power outageRelated: Overloaded or disconnected grid components can turn a local interruption into a widespread outage.

• Black startRelated: Cascading failures can leave too little energized infrastructure for ordinary restarting.

• Disaster riskRelated: Disaster impacts can spread through connected infrastructure and services, multiplying losses.

• Protective relayRelated: Protection miscoordination can contribute to cascading outages by disconnecting additional network elements.

• Complex systemRelated: Interdependence allows local breakdowns to spread through a system.

• Interdependent networksRelated: A failed component can disable dependent components in other networks.

• Continental Europe Synchronous AreaNarrower topic: Overloads and protection actions can turn a local grid fault into a broad outage.

• Wide-area synchronous gridRelated: Disturbances can propagate through the same connections that enable regional power sharing.
