This results i justificatio of eglect of the etwork resistace i relatio to the iductace: R f0, sice f0 50 Hz. Similarily, the resistace of the coectio likig the switchig device to the capacitor is egligible. The etwork frequecy (50 Hz) is egligible i relatio to the trasiet curret frequecy. We might therefore cosider that we have a voltage step throughout the duratio of the trasiet curret. The value of the step, at worst, is the peak value of the siusoidal voltage: U U : phase-to-phase voltage The curret it is determied by the followig differetial equatio: t di dt i d where: () t 0 for t 0 () t ˆ for t 0 We shall solve this equatio usig aplace trasforms. As a aplace trasform, the differetial equatio becomes: ˆ V t 0 0 s I s i t I s s s s The curret is zero before eergizatio ad it is assumed that the voltage at the capacitor termials is zero (worst case). Hece: it 0 0 ad V t 0 0

The baks i service off load ito the bak that has just bee eergized. The stream iductace is very high i relatio to iductace (see sectio 0.6., example : 85 H ad example :.5 H). The curret splied by the stream part (etwork) is therefore eglected. It is assumed that, at worst, o eergizatio the voltage at the termials of U V t 0. each capacitor is ˆ The equivalet diagram is thus show i Figure B-. The diagram comprises parallel-coected braches with a impedace of Z j. j The equivalet impedace is therefore: Z eq Z j j

Figure B-5 The equivalet diagram i Figure B-5 is the same as that of a fixed bak. If we re-use the formula for a fixed bak, we immediately obtai:
