Ferranti effect (English, noun)
expansion: Ferranti effect (plural Ferranti effects)
Senses:
glosses: An increase in voltage occurring at the receiving end of a long transmission line, above the voltage at the sending end. This occurs when the line is energized, but there is a very light load or the load is disconnected. The capacitive line charging current produces a voltage drop across the line inductance that is in-phase with the sending end voltages considering the line resistance as negligible.
