why in some cases the receiving end voltage is higher than the
sending end voltage in transmission line (called 'Ferranti
effect') ????? whts the reason behind tht???

Answer Posted / xavier

This effect is due to the voltage drop across the line
inductance (due to charging current) being in phase with
the sending end voltages.

The Ferranti Effect is a rise in voltage occurring at the
receiving end of a long transmission line, relative to the
voltage at the sending end, which occurs when the line is
charged but there is a very light load or the load is
disconnected.
