What is the Ferranti Effect?Ferranti Effect DefinitionThe Ferranti effect is defined as the increase in voltage at the receiving end of a long transmission line compared to the sending end. This effect is more noticeable when the load is very small or there is no load (open circuit). It can be described as a factor or a percentage increase.In general practice, current flows from higher potential to lower potential to balance the electrical potential difference. Usually, the sending end voltage i
