EQUATION1935 V1 EN-US (Equation 105)
The first case corresponds also to conditions on non compensated lines and in cases,
when the capacitor is bypassed either by spark gap or by the bypass switch, as shown
in phasor diagram in figure 113. The resultant reactance is in this case of inductive
nature and the fault currents lags source voltage by 90 electrical degrees.
The resultant reactance is of capacitive nature in the second case. Fault current will for
this reason lead the source voltage by 90 electrical degrees, which means that reactive
current will flow from series compensated line to the system. The system conditions
are in such case presented by equation 106
