what will happen if capacitor bank is used in generation side?

Answer Posted / antaratara ghosh

the reasons are:
1. Capacitors will absorb harmonics as their impedance
decreases and frequency increases, resulting in overheating
and increased stress that leads towards premature failure
2. Capacitors will resonate with the system impedance,
causing high voltage spikes and current upto 10 times the
normal level.
3. Switching of capacitor banks creates voltage transients
resulting overvoltage to loads and can damage solid state
equipments like variable frequency drives.

In Power Line Communication (PLC) the wave trap is used to block communication signals from entering neighboring lines. My question is this: Why do they allow for different filtering arrangements on these wave traps? Isn't it always going to be a low pass filter since we want the power frequency to go through, and the comm signal blocked?
