Abstract
A multi-series group capacitor bank has voltage limiters, of the metal oxide type, connected across each individual series group and set at a protection level higher than that of the bank bypass spark gap so the voltage limiters bypass a series group when capacitor fuse clearing causes high voltage build-up in that series group.
