Ferranti effect
In electrical engineering, the Ferranti effect is an increase in voltage occurring at the receiving end of a long transmission line,to 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. Therefore both line inductance and capacitance are responsible for this phenomenon. The Ferranti Effect will be more pronounced the longer the line and the higher the voltage applied. The relative voltage rise is proportional to the square of the line length. The Ferranti effect is much more pronounced in underground cables, even in short lengths, because of their high capacitance. It was first observed during the installation of underground cables in Sebastian Ziani de Ferranti's 10,000 volt distribution system in 1887.
The Standard Electrical Dictionary
Ferranti Effect
An effect as yet not definitely explained, observed in the mains of the Deptford, Eng., alternating current plant. It is observed that the potential difference between the members of a pair of mains rises or increases with the distance the place of trial is from the station. [Transcriber's note: This effect is due to the voltage drop across the line inductance (due to charging current) being in phase with the sending end voltages. Both capacitance and inductance are responsible for producing this phenomenon. The effect is more pronounced in underground cables and with very light loads.]
