Moreover, the protection settings for the capacitor bank unfold systematically, elucidating the process of selecting the current transformer ratio, calculating rated and maximum overload currents, and determining the percentage impedance for fault MVA calculations.
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
Capacitor banks provide an economical and reliable method to reduce losses, improve system voltage and overall power quality. This paper discusses design considerations and system implications for Eaton’s Cooper PowerTM series externally fused, internally fused or fuseless capacitor banks.
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.
Capacitor banks require a means of unbalance protection to avoid overvoltage conditions, which would lead to cascading failures and possible tank ruptures. Figure 7. Bank connection at bank, unit and element levels. The primary protection method uses fusing.
