To reduce the hazards of such switching, a new switching case of power capacitors is proposed, and the comparisons for inrush currents and transient voltages in different switching cases are obtained by numerical simulation and real‐time digital simulator.
Power capacitor switching can bring a high‐magnitude/frequency inrush current and a transient overvoltage to power systems. The switching transients of capacitor increase electric field intensity and temperature rises of power capacitors that can affect the safety of human body and equipment.
When the switch closes to insert the second capacitor bank, the inrush current affects mainly the local parallel capacitor bank circuits and bus voltage. What would cause a Restrike when Switching Capacitors? grounded cct.
In this paper, a new switching case is proposed to restrain capacitor switching transients, and the comparisons for inrush currents and transient voltages of power capacitors in different switching cases are obtained by numerical simulation and using RTDS.
Simulation model of power capacitor switching The inrush current is a major switch‐on transient phenomenon of the power capacitors, and it will shorten the operation life of the power capacitors and damage the contactors of the switching devices, so it is essential to restrict the inrush current.
There are three power quality concerns associated with single capacitor bank switching transients. These concerns are most easily seen in figure 4, and are as follows: The initial voltage depression results in a loss of voltage of magnitude “D” and duration “T1”.

Therefore, using the previous relationship, we get that C = T R = 10-5 106 = 10pF We know from previous considerations that the area required for 10pF capacitor is much less than for a 1MΩ resistor when implemented in CMOS technology.
