The capacitor bank is composed of many capacitor element units in series and parallel. When a capacitor bank contains many broken down or short-circuited elements, the fault is removed through overcurrent protection, overvoltage protection, or unbalanced protection. However, protection is not triggered if there are a few component breakdowns.

TOVs are undamped or weakly damped oscillatory phase-to-ground, phase-to-phase or longitudinal voltage stresses of relatively long duration (i.e., seconds, even minutes).

Switching high-voltage transmission lines is necessary for a power system to work. However, when we switch off an unloaded line, open or close switches, or interrupt currents in reactors and capacitor banks, it creates sudden voltage increases called surges or transients. These surges can damage equipment and make the system less reliable.
When the switch closes, the inrush current flows from the source to charge the capacitance. The inrush current affects the whole system from the power source to the capacitor bank, and …
