Determining inrush current limiting reactor for capacitor switching using PSCAD / Muhammad Hasanol Mustafa

The switching of shunt capacitor banks at utility substations and on distribution feeders creates voltage and current transients in the power system which may be damaging to power system equipment. Transient over voltages due to the energizing of capacitor banks are the most common source of over vo...
