The reactance cancelled, and the resonance it buys
Putting a capacitor in series with a feeder cancels part of its reactance and the far end falls less: five per cent of regulation becomes four and a quarter at a quarter compensation and 2.7 per cent at seventy per cent. What comes with it is a series resonance that was not there before, at the line frequency times the root of the fraction cancelled — so a quarter compensation resonates at exactly half the line frequency and a ninth at exactly a third. The line's own inductance is not in that answer and neither is the voltage.
