what happen to Generator and Motor during ferranti effect and also to transmission line?

Question

Accepted Answer

Generator and motor experience voltage fluctuations during Ferranti effect, while transmission line experiences voltage rise.

Ferranti effect is a phenomenon of voltage rise at the receiving end of a long transmission line due to capacitance between the line and ground
Generators and motors experience voltage fluctuations due to the voltage rise at the receiving end
This can cause damage to the insulation of the machines and affect their performance
Transmission line experiences voltage rise which can lead to overvoltage and damage to the line insulation
This effect can be mitigated by using shunt reactors or series capacitors
