L & T Interview Questions 1)What is Ferranti Effect ?    a)The effect in which the voltage at the receiving end of the transmission line is more than the                sending voltage is known as Ferranti Effect.    b)Such type of effect mainly occurs because of light  load (or)  open circuit at the receiving end.    c)Ferranti Effect is due to the charging current of the line. 2)How do you Overcome Ferranti Effect ?     a)Ferranti Effect can be reduced by installing shunt compensation devices at receiving end .     b)The compensation devices is a shunt reactor which is connected in parallel with the transmission         line.     c)It  reduces the voltage level by absorbing the reactive power.     d)Running the transmission line with higher load. 3)What is Charging Current in Transmission line?     When the voltage is applied across the sending end of the transmission line,current starts flowing        between  the conductors.This current is called the charging
