Automatically switched capacitors on a single feeder

THE BENEFITS obtained by the use of capacitors on the electrical utility system are well established, as well as the experience that dictates that the capacitors should be disconnected from the circuits when they are not needed. This requirement for switching both on and off has re-. suited in applications that are determined by the selection of control means, and not always at the point of maximum effectiveness in the supply of reactive loads and voltage improvement.
