Being a non-engineer in a group of the same, it helps to simplify an idea so the masses (including myself) can grasp it. We have (some not all) system operators who can only describe vars simply with the foam on the beer explaination which only covers capacity on the line. They...
How does this sound?
Adding shunt caps and creating a reactive current "loop" or tank circuit between the shunt caps and the inductive load actually reduces the current through the line from the source. This lower current has a lower voltage drop across the impedance of the line.
When...
I am a switchman at a transmission utility. I am having a hard time finding someone here who can give a basic explaination of the phenomenon of voltage rise/decay from inserting shunt caps/reactors. I have completed my theory classes to include solving complex RCL circuits. I will give it a...
