Observation

Table 3.1 shows the different data for pure capacitive loads. Based on the data gathered, the different
parameters increases as the value of capacitor increases. Making a parallel connection of capacitor produces
a significant voltage rise, thus increases the total power of the system. Table 3.2 shows the different data for
pure inductive loads. Based on the data gathered, the current decreases as the value of inductor increases.
Inductive loads resist changes in current, thus, the current lags the voltage. The voltage drop along the
transmission line and the receiving-end voltage vary widely for inductive loads. Table 3.3 Table 3.5 shows
the data for different values of inductive loads under different active power consumption. A resistive or
inductive load at the end of a transmission line produces very large voltage drop, which would be quite
intolerable under practical conditions. Table 3.6 is about power factor correction, the power factor of RL loads
without capacitor is 0.76. By adding 3 capacitors the power factor of the load reaches nearly to 1, thus,
lowering the need of high line current through the transmission line which results in a lower voltage drop at
the load terminals.
