Note that since in back-to-back switching the capacitor banks are connected in parallel with the source supply, and the initial transient frequency is high compared to nominal system frequency, the source voltage can be assumed to remain unchanged during the transient period, justifying our assumption that led to the simplification of the circuit of Figure 1.
