Shunt capacitor switching in distribution and transmission systems
The switching devices associated with different loads in distribution and transmission networks have different switching duties to fulfil with sometimes contradicting performance requirements. Thus, a switching device intended to switch reactors might require other abilities than a device to switch capacitors. In this Technical Brochure (TB) the switching of capacitor banks is addressed with the main focus on the applied switching devices, not on the associated equipment such as capacitors, reactors etc.
