The impact of switching capacitor banks with very high inrush current …

Capacitor bank switching can cause significant inrush current to flow during the closing phase of circuit breakers. From test-statistics, it is derived that switching capacitor banks at higher voltage under the IEC ''back-to-back'' inrush current condition, is a significant challenge for SF6 and vacuum circuit breakers. In the case of vacuum circuit breakers, …
