bank in close electrical proximity to each other should be
avoided as the energized capacitor bank can increase the
inrush current to the second bank when it is energized.
Non-Motor Loads Reactors or resistors may be required between the two
capacitor banks to limit inrush currents.
When selecting contactors for non-motor loads, the following
load characteristics should be considered:
NEMA Standards require shunt capacitors to operate satis-
