Abstract

An alternating current power transmission system employing a long transmission line has a stabilizing arrangement comprising a plurality of alternating current saturated reactors connected to intermediate stations along its length, at least some of the reactors having slope correction capacitors in series therewith, and others of the reactors having slope reactances which are not connected by series slope correction capacitors. Since the uncompensated reactors have a substantially instantaneous transient response the stabilizing arrangement gives an overall voltage control which is better than one incorporating only slope corrected reactors.
