This paper describes concerns for capacitor switching transients at customer buses witch cause power quality problem. The magnification of transients is caused by various factors : plant load, switched capacitor size, customer load characteristics, power factor correction and the utility distribution, etc. The results of simulation illustrate the impact of these factors , the important effect of energy levers associated with transients and the complex interaction between the capacitor banks and the source and load resulting in several transient over voltage phenomena . Recommendations for best solution to the magnification problems are also presented .
