In general practice we know, that for all electrical systems current flows from the region of higher potential to the region of lower potential, to compensate for the electrical potential difference that exists in the system. In all practical cases the sending end voltage is higher than the receiving end, so current flows from the source or the supply end to the load. But Sir S.Z. Ferranti, in the year, came up with an astonishing theory about medium distance transmission line or long distance transmission lines suggesting that in case of light loading or no load operation of transmission system, the receiving end voltage often increases beyond the sending end voltage
