CHARACTERISTICS OF TRANSMISSION LINE AT DIFFERENT VOLTAGE LEVEL
1. If lagging (inductive) loads are added at the end of a line, the voltage at the end of
transmission line decreases.
2. If leading (capacitive) loads are added at the end of a line, the voltage at the end of
transmission line increases.
