6 FAQs about [Capacitor bank voltage difference protection action]

Why do capacitor bank voltages and currents unbalance in per-unit values?

We achieved this simplicity by working in per-unit values. It is apparent that an unbalance in capacitor bank voltages and currents is a result of a difference between the faulted and healthy parts of the bank. As such, the per-unit voltage or current unbalance is independent of the absolute characteristics of the faulted and healthy parts.

What is the purpose of capacitor bank protection?

The objective of the capacitor bank protection is to alarm on the failure of some minimum number of elements or units and trip on some higher number of failures. It is, of course, desirable to detect any element failure. II. ELEMENT AND UNIT FAILURES EXAMINED

What is a capacitor bank?

The capacitor bank itself indicates the star connection on a per phase basis. As previously described, the outdoor bay comprises of the following switching devices; busbar disconnectors (off load switching), a circuit breaker for on-load switching and for the isolation of faults, and earth switches for safety and maintenance purposes.

Can shunt capacitor banks be protected from unbalance voltage?

A novel approach to unbalance voltage detection and the protection of fuseless single star earthed shunt capacitor banks is investigated, engineered and tested. This methodology explores the potential evolution towards distributed protection.

How to test the overload protection of a capacitor bank?

Step 1: Find out the nominal current of the capacitor bank. The nominal current of 80.37 Amps is used in the case study and its calculation is given in Appendix. Step 2 Select the appropriate current transformer ratio. The CT ratio of 120:1 is selected to test the overload protection for SCB’s.

How to ensure reliable protection of a capacitor bank?

To ensure reliable protection of a capacitor bank, dual redundant protection devices are employed. With reference to table 1, the protection blocks illustrated in figure 5, 6, 7 and 8 show a “main protection” block and a “back up protection” block.
