Shunt Capacitor Energization with Vacuum Interrupters - A Possible Source of Overvoltage

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reveal a source of overvoltage accompanied by sudden and severe voltage reversals at the transformer terminals, characterized by the momentary interruption and subsequent reignitions of the two predominant transient high-natural-frequency oscillatory capacitor closing currents.
