Abstract

In this paper, the influence of the tolerances of the components on the steady-state electrical stresses of Mechanically Switched Capacitors with Damping Network (MSCDN) is assessed. For this purpose, a sensitivity analysis for 380-kVconnected MSCDNs with different quality factors and tuning frequencies is carried out. For the calculations, the level of harmonics defined in IEC 61000-3-6 has been considered. The calculations are based on simulations using ideal models of the MSCDN’s components.
