Ferranti effect states that under certain conditions, the sending end voltage is
- A. Less than receiving end voltage
- B. Greater than receiving end voltage
- C. Equal to receiving end voltage
- D. Not having any impact on the receiving end voltage
Answer: A. Less than receiving end voltage
Explanation: Ferranti effect occurs on lightly loaded or open-circuited long transmission lines where line charging current through line inductance causes receiving end voltage VR to exceed sending end voltage VS (i.e. VS < VR).
