  • Distribution Interview Questions: What Is Ferranti Effect?

    The document discusses several electrical distribution concepts: Ferranti effect occurs under light or no load conditions and causes receiving end voltages to rise due to excess reactive power generation from long transmission line shunt capacitances. This effect can be reduced by connecting shunt reactors to absorb excess reactive power. Skin effect causes current to flow more through the surface of a conductor compared to its core due to unequal flux distribution, resulting in greater heat at the surface. Smart grids incorporate advanced technologies to automate and increase the efficiency of power distribution grids. SIL refers to the power delivered by a line with no resistance or load, equal to the surge impedance.
