A survey of power utilities has been carried out to obtain data on high voltage shunt capacitor bank surge protection practices which presently exist. The questionnaire sought answers to questions relating to voltage rating, size of bank, number of banks, installation practices, switching arrangements and the application of surge arresters for over-voltage protection. In this paper a summary of the results of the survey is presented along with some general comments and conclusions on the findings. A brief outline of the basic application considerations, including lightning, switching, and temporary overvoltages is included.
