The phenomenon qf rise in voltage at the receiving end of the open-circuited or lightly loaded line is called the
A)Seeback effect
B)Ferranti effect
C)Raman effect
D)none of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Ferranti Effect refers to the increase in voltage observed at the receiving end of a long transmission line when the line is lightly loaded or open-circuited. This phenomenon is due to the capacitive charging currents that lead to a voltage rise over the length of the line.
