Answer / rashid al-hadifi

Series capacitive (series compensation).
To reduce the total reactive power(MVAR)loss.

Shunt capacitive (Shunt compensation).
To improve system power factor.

Answer / chatinder

shunt compensation is to improve voltage profile.....series compensation is for system stability.

Answer / kailas vanvas singade

Series compensation reduces risk factor hence it is used to hit the current thermal limit.

Answer / monali bhise

Shunt compensation improves power factor of load whereas series compensation has very little effect on load power factor. For a long transmission line where total reactance is large, series capacitors are more effective for improvement of stability.

Answer / mirza

In series compensation voltage is injected into the transmission line while in shunt current is injected....

Answer / krushna

compansation means to overcome from
losses.
Series compansation is used to improve
the line voltage by connecting an
inductor in series in line.
Parallel compansation is improve the
power factor by connecting capacitor in
parallel to load

Answer / anurag_jammed@yahoo.co.in

by compensation we mean reducing losses,if the load at user
end is inductive in nature we use shunt compensation
(capacitive in nature) while if the load at user end is
capacitive we use series compensation(inductive in nature)

Answer / saida

compensation is required to put the constant voltage at
receiving end.
the both series and shunt commentators are same but in the
case of series compensator the losses will be more.

i have one ground earth for my shop but now he showing 11v how ever my machine engineer said that he require less than 3v how can we reduce it, i have put 8 bucket salty water in it

i have a 4 Mva transformer 34.5 kv / 480-277 v and i used 2 parallel 3200 amp bus duct for the secondary feeder using 3 ply of bus bar ( 3/8" x 5" ) as a common where the flexible link terminated and 6300 amps breaker for the main, the lower bus duct reaches 70 degrees and the upper bus duct reaches 55 degrees when i used thermal scanner. why the temperature is not balance when the load reaches 3600 amps.
