Abstract
A switched capacitor bank system including a switched capacitor bank assembly having a switch between a capacitor and a phase line, a first voltage sensor to sense a phase line voltage, and a second voltage sensor to sense a capacitor voltage. The switched capacitor bank system includes a wireless current sensor to sense a current of the phase line and an electronic controller configured to receive a first voltage signal from the first voltage sensor, a second voltage signal from the second voltage sensor, a current signal from the wireless current sensor, determine a phase shift calculation for the voltage of the phase line based on the current signal, determine when the voltage of the phase line is at zero by comparing the first voltage signal, the second voltage signal, and the phase shift calculation, and close the switch when the voltage of the phase line is at zero.
