Assuming capacitor bank 1 is already switched on or energized. Calculate the peak inrush current and resonant frequency that will flow through CB2 when capacitor bank 2 is switched on.

SWITCHING FOR AC HIGH VOLTAGE CIRCUIT BREKAERS
Back to back switching of series capacitor can generate high frequency (575 Hz) transient peak current that can flow from already charged capacitor bank 1 through disconnect switch or circuit breaker going to capacitor bank 2 can be visualize using a tuned LC circuit as shown below.
The animation speed was slowdown to 3 seconds for us to see the transient speed of high frequency inrush current. The actual speed of one (1) cycle of 575 Hz resonant frequency is 1/575 second or 1.74 milliseconds.

The calculated peak current did not consider the system resistance and the inductance of the capacitors so it is always higher compare to power quality meter reading. The power quality meter like BMI/Electrotek is measuring the system resistance and the inductance of the capacitors. Hence the peak current reported by power quality meter is usually lower than the calculated peak current.
