Abstract
The introduction of high voltage shunt capacitor banks on a power syst em can result in a number of overvoltage problems that tend to be asso ciated with capacitor switching. Proper application of surge arresters near a shunt capacitor bank requires careful analysis of the power sy stem, the switching devices and their arrangements, the insulation lev el of nearby equipment, the type of grounding, and the arrester energy dissipation duty.
