When capacitors banks are switched, the voltage associated with a low line impedance may produce high currents on the capacitors. This current may reach 100 x I n (A), being one of the main causes of reduction in the capacitor lifespan. The CWBC contactors have pre-charge resistors that limit the in-rush currents when the capacitors are
