Figure 86: Typical locations of capacitor banks on series compensated line
Implementation of spark gaps for capacitor overvoltage protection makes the
picture relatively simple, because they either flash over or not. The apparent
impedance corresponds to the impedance of non-compensated line, as shown in
figure 87 case K = 0%.
