<p>An electrical power transmitting system (50) in accordance with the invention includes an alternating current electrical power generator (12) for producing alternating current on an output having a specified maximum; at least one electrical load (22) which is coupled to a point of regulation (16) in the electrical transmitting system; a feeder (14) having a specified maximum voltage drop, a length extending between the output and the point of regulation for transmitting the alternating current to the point of regulation, an inductance having an inductive reactance at a fundamental frequency of the alternating current, a capacitance (54, 66, 80 and 100) in series with the inductance having a capacitive reactance at the fundamental of the frequency of the alternating current which cancels at least part of the inductive reactance at the fundamental frequency of the alternating current to provide a reduced impedance in the feeder at the fundamental frequency of the alternating current to produce a reduced voltage drop which is less than the specified voltage drop; and the feeder having a minimum weight per unit length providing a maximum current carrying capacity equal to the specified maximum at the reduced voltage drop.</p> |
