The purpose of this thesis is to study the switching transients due to the operation of capacitors in a power system. The ATP (Alternative Transients Program) and ATPDraw are used as a tool to simulate and analyse the switching transients when the capacitors are energized. In addition , the thesis also presents a study on methods used to limit overvoltages and inrush currents caused by switching transients. The detail and the analysis of the methods proposed are also illustrated.
