The Effect Of Capacitors On The Short-Line Fault Component Of Transient Recovery Voltage

Abstract
The use of a capacitor to modify the line-side component of transient recovery voltage following a short-line fault is investigated. A method is presented based on traveling wave theory to show the modifying influence of capacitance. Empirical data is included to show the effect of the capacitance on interrupting capability. The effects of size, location, and the possibility of using carrier components are discussed.
