The phenomenon qf rise in voltage at the receiving end of the open-circuited or lightly loaded line is called the________________?
Correct answer: B. Ferranti effect
- A. Seeback effect
- B. Ferranti effect
- C. Raman effect
- D. none of the above
Explanation
The Ferranti effect is the rise of receiving-end voltage above sending-end voltage when a long line is open-circuited or lightly loaded. It results mainly from the line's shunt capacitance.
