IEEE Approved Draft Guide for the Functional Specification of Fixed Transmission Series Capacitor Banks for Transmission System Applications

This Guide provides general guidelines toward the preparations of a functional specification of transmission fixed series capacitor banks (FSC) using overvoltage protection based on three technologies: * metal oxide varistors * metal oxide varistors with a forced triggered bypass gaps, and thyristor protected series capacitors. * thyristor protected series capacitor.This Guide does not apply comprehensively to Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitors
