  • Abstract
    The application and effectiveness of MO surge arresters to capacitor banks is discussed. Principle application rules for different configurations are given. The influence of MO arresters with different ratings on voltage and current at the capacitors and at a re-striking circuit breaker respectively is shown and quantified.
