Shunt reactors are installed on long lines (in this case a 435km 765kV line) to reduce over voltages experienced when the load is suddenly lost and to control voltages under lightly loaded conditions. When the compensated line is opened to clear a fault, it is found that the open-phase voltage does not disappear. A transient voltage waveform with a resonant frequency between 35Hz and 45Hz can be seen...
