Back-to-back capacitor switching generates 40-100x rated inrush currents at 20-2000 kHz, risking catastrophic circuit breaker failures. This case study shows how CSDs with ±1ms PoW accuracy eliminated transients in MP Power’s 145 kV, 33 MVAR banks at Gwalior substation. Essential for preventing voltage collapse during peak irrigation season when reactive loading surges to +25 MVAR on 132 kV buses—proven solution for modern EHV grid stability.
