Series capacitor equipment is connected into an electric power transmission line (L) and has a capacitor bank with a first part (CO) series-connected with a second part (C1-Cn) with variable capacitance. For protection against overvoltages, a first spark gap protective means (GO, T, TE) is connected across the first part, and a second spark gap protective means, connected in series with said first spark gap protective means, is connected across the second part of the bank. The point of connection (A) of the spark gap protective means is connected to the point of connection (B) of the bank parts through a resistor (R). The first spark gap protection means is adapted to be ignited at a predeternined level of the current in the power transmission line, the voltage drop across the resistor (R) then causing said second spark protective means (G) to become ignited. |
