6 FAQs about [Internal fuse capacitor discharge]

What is the function of fuses in a shunt capacitor bank?

The function of fuses for protection of the shunt capacitor elements and their location (inside the capacitor unit on each element or outside the unit) is a significant topic in the design of shunt capacitor banks. They also impact the failure modality of the capacitor element and impact the setting of the capacitor bank protection.

What is the difference between a fuse and an unfused capacitor?

In this design, a fuse is simply a piece of wire specifically selected based on the internal design of the unit to melt under fault conditions. Because each element is protected with a fuse inside the capacitor unit, the I2R loss is much higher (e.g. 50% higher) compared to unfused unit construction.

What is a capacitor bank fuse?

An individual fuse, externally mounted between the capacitor unit and the capacitor bank fuse bus, typically protects each capacitor unit. The capacitor unit can be designed for a relatively high voltage because the external fuse is capable of interrupting a high-voltage fault.

How do capacitor current limiting fuses work?

Capacitor current-limiting fuses can be designed to operate in two different ways. The COL fuse uses ribbons with a non-uniform cross section. This configuration allows the fuse to be used to interrupt inductively limited faults. The pressure is generated by the arc contained in the sealed housing.

Are fuses bad for a capacitor?

Modern-day capacitors exhibit relatively low losses overall, and with proper design, the additional losses are not a major concern. That said, the additional heat generated by internal fuses may prevent use in certain situations and will shorten the capacitor unit life (compared to unfused units).

How do capacitor fuses work?

Over the years, a set of terms has been developed to apply capacitor fuses. The concept of applying fuses should be a simple engineering task; however, fuse operation is a non-linear function. The resistance of fuse elements changes non-linearly as they melt and clear.
