In this paper

an accident of fusing failure in 10 kV capacitor bank due to mal-closing capacitor and damage of vacuum circuit breaker is explained through calculation of inrush current

restrike of capacitor fuse and vacuum circuit breakers.Several improving measures such as provision of lockout circuit of the main substation with selection of high-quality vacuum circuit breakers

automatic switch capacitor and high-quality external fuses in capacitor bank are proposed so as to avoid reoccurrence of such accident.
