Abstract: The impact of capacitor switching on transformer transients is evaluated. Two specific transformer failure events are described. Each of these failures coincided with the switching of a capacitor bank some distance away from the transformer.

This current may result in severe stresses on the SCB, the circuit breaker of the faulty feeder, and the corresponding current transformers [17], [18], [19]. Although occurrence of some SCB transients are well published, analytical–based defense strategies have not been scrutinized. This issue is highly important for self-excitation phenomenon and thus this paper

During the switching of shunt capacitor banks, high magnitude and high frequency transients can occur [1, 5, 6, 7]. In earlier years, shunt capacitor banks have been more commonly installed at distribution and lower subtransmission levels. However, there has been a recent proliferation of new capacitor banks at transmission levels. Since larger
