How can the Ferranti effect be reduced or mitigated in a power system?

2025-08-10

Professional Answer: The most common and effective method to mitigate the Ferranti effect is by installing shunt reactors at the receiving end of the transmission line. Shunt reactors are inductive devices that absorb the excess reactive power generated by the line's capacitance, thereby balancing the system and controlling the voltage rise.

At Ningbo Changshi Electric Power Machinery Manufacturing Limited, we provide a wide range of transmission line tools and accessories that are essential for the installation and maintenance of these mitigation devices. We help our clients ensure that their transmission projects are not only robust but also operate within safe voltage limits.
