← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when distributed capacitance in a long transmission line circuit is ignored?
A)Ferranti effect voltage increase✓
B)Reduced line energy transmission
C)Improved power factor correction
D)Minimized corona discharge losses
💡 Explanation
Ignoring capacitance causes the Ferranti effect because line charging current becomes significant, therefore voltage at the receiving end rises higher than the sending end, rather than a predictable voltage drop under load.
