Abstract
Considerations on disturbances related to Shunt Capacitor Bank (SCB) s witching are summarized and a unique damping circuit able to cope with all of them is proposed. This damping circuit consists of a reactor i n parallel with a resistor which is in series with a Metal Oxide Varis tor (MOV), the latter being used to ''switch'' on the resistor only du ring transients. The design parameters of this damping circuit are des cribed and the main tests performed are presented.
