Abstract :
The Fermilab Capacitor Tree is a capacitor bank used in series with the feeders carrying 3-phase, 13.8 kV power to the main ring power supply system. Its function is to reduce the voltage droop of the power supplies at high currents, by acting in series resonance with the leakage inductances of the system. This paper describes the electrical system and our operational experience since May, 1976.
