The effect of line capacitances on the grounding characteristic of the system is little and, therefore, can be neglected. First of all consider a 3-phase line (perfectly transposed) having same capacitances to ground. In such a line the charging currents for each line to earth capacitor lead the phase voltage by 90° and are equal.

Customer ServiceCapacitor discharge currents may damage nearby surge arresters. Interference with a facilities ground fault protection system is the primary reason for not grounding a capacitor bank or harmonic filter bank.
Customer ServiceProper discharge of capacitors is crucial for safety and component longevity, as they can retain dangerous voltage levels long after power is removed. Controlled discharge
Customer Service3. DO NOT ground the capacitor bank immediately after the bank has been disconnected from the system. For capacitor banks with capacitor units containing discharge resistors designed to discharge the capacitor unit from peak rated voltage to less than 50 V in five minutes, allow five minutes before grounding.

Customer ServiceFor three phase capacitors, ideally three resistors are required to discharge. For capacitor cans connected in delta, ''V connection'' is commonly used which only requires two resistors as shown in figure 4 (c). Note that effective capacitance across each resistance in this case is not C but 1.5C due to delta connected capacitors.
Customer ServiceConfiguration of Capacitor bank. A delta-connected bank of capacitors is usually applied to voltage classes of 2400 volts or less. In a three-phase system, to supply the same reactive power, the star connection requires a capacitor with a capacitance three times higher than the delta connected capacitor. In addition, the capacitor with the star connection results to
Customer ServiceFig. 5 shows the PRPD pattern on all three phases from pure phase to ground PD occurring in each phase (i.e. the slot section was grounded on one coil leg in each phase). In this case, the three coils were spaced normally in the endwinding (about 1 cm between adjacent coils), so no phase to phase PD was possible.
Customer ServiceIn electronics, "ground" has nothing to do with the ground; "earth" has nothing to do with the Earth. Ground is just a label on a schematic. When you "charge" a capacitor, have you added charge to the capacitor? No. The total charge of the capacitor is always the same. You''ve just moved some of the charge from one plate to the other.
Customer ServiceThe capacitor can discharge quicker if the resistor is bigger. For example, if a 10 uF capacitor is discharged with a 1 kΩ resistor, the discharge period would be 0.01 seconds. When discharging a 1 mF part with the same resistor, the discharge period would be increased to 1s by 1/3 of the original charge value. Major methods to discharge a capacitor. To prevent any

Customer ServiceIn low voltage application, capacitors are typically ungrounded and maximum capacitor discharge current occurs for three phase external fault. In medium and high voltage applications, capacitors are usually solidly grounded, and maximum capacitor current occurs for three-phase to ground fault or single phase to ground fault.
Customer ServiceMultilevel inverters are widely employed in industry application due to their low voltage-variation rate and little current distortion. However, capacitor-voltage regulation adds the complexity of their modulation, and the low DC-voltage conversion ratio restricts their application in some specific occasions. Here, a new three-phase four-level inverter with switched

Customer ServiceFrom this we may see that earth (ground+atmosphere) is a capacitor itself. It was experimentally checked that the ground has negative charge and so it is the source of electrons. So in your question you plug one capacitor to the half of the other one with huge charge. The answer is - no it will NOT discharge COMPLETELY.
Easiest and most reliable way to ensure capacitor discharge is to permanently connect resistors across the capacitor terminals. As soon as power source is turned off, capacitor starts to discharge through the resistor. Discharge resistor can be externally connected or mounted inside the capacitor can.
For most power system switching applications, once the voltage is decayed below 10% it is typically safe for reclosing, switching etc. The most common method of power capacitor discharge is to permanently connect resistors across the terminals.
Open the fuse cutouts. DO NOT ground the capacitor bank immediately after the bank has been disconnected from the system. For capacitor banks with capacitor units containing discharge resistors designed to discharge the capacitor unit from peak rated voltage to less than 50 V in five minutes, allow five minutes before grounding.
It is favorable to discharge a capacitor through a resistor to prevent damage from high discharge currents, which can reduce the capacitor's lifespan. (You can check with a multimeter.)
In most cases, one side of a capacitor is grounded. However, it is not true that this is the case in all designs. The only guaranteed safe way to discharge a capacitor is through a suitable resistor across its terminals.
