Reducing Distribution Line Losses

Neagle and Samson (1956) developed a capacitor placement approach for uniformly distributed lines and showed that the optimal capacitor location is the point on the circuit where the reactive power flow equals half of the capacitor var rating. From this, they developed the 2/3 rule for selecting and placing capacitors. For a uniformly ...
