Abstract :
Capacitor bank switching is one of the most demanding operations in MV networks, due to its frequency and the associated transients. It is both an important maintenance concern, since strong currents affect breakers and capacitors, and a frequent power quality issue, as its voltage transients can have a relevant effect on customers and, less often, on other elements of the distribution network.
