Standard Details
General guidelines toward the preparations of a functional specification of transmission fixed-series capacitor (FSC) banks using overvoltage protection based on three technologies are provided. The three technologies are:
- 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.

This standard applies to outdoor series capacitor banks and to the major components of a bank that are
required to form a complete system for the insertion of capacitors in series with a transmission line. These
major components include capacitors, varistors, bypass gaps, bypass switches, discharge current limiting
reactors, insulated structures, and protection and control systems. This standard defines the major
requirements for the bank and these components. Design and production tests for all of the components are
outlined. Disconnect switches associated with the series capacitor bank are not discussed in detail.
This standard applies to fixed series capacitor banks where the inserted reactance is primarily established by
the reactance of the capacitors. Not included in this standard are power electronic devices for the insertion or
bypassing of the bank. In addition, series capacitor banks applied to distribution circuits are not within the
scope of this standard.

| Existing Standards |
Capacitors rated 216 V or higher, 2.5 kvar or more, and designed for shunt connection toalternating-current transmission and distribution systems operating at a nominal frequency of 50 Hzor 60 Hz, within the guidelines of IEEE Std 1036-1992, are considered.
