Customer ServiceInternal fuses in capacitor units There are two types of fuses used for capacitors; internal and external. When the reactive power of a capacitor unit was only a few kvar, the most natural method to protect the capacitor was with an external fuse, since in the case of a breakdown the lost reactive power was small. However, now that one

Customer ServiceFuse rating for Capacitor Circuits. For the capacitor circuit, the fuse rating is equal to 1.5 times of the full load reactive current by considering staring inrush current, circuit harmonics and capacitor tolerances. The formula will be. Capacitor Fuse rating = 1.5 x Capacitor Full load current. Or. Capacitor Fuse rating = 1.5 x Q (VAR) / (1.

This type of bank cannot be protected in this way using for example Fusarc-CF fuses. In some impossible cases, there is a solution that consists of protecting all three banks with a single common fuse (see figure 4).

Customer ServiceBreaking capacity means that your 1.6A fuse is rated to safely operate up to 35A at 250 VAC. If the short circuit current exceeds 35A, then it may not safely operate any more and break the current in the time stated in the fuse specification. If you for example had a circuit with more than 250V or more than 35A passes through the fuse, the fuse is not rated to handle
Customer ServiceEither of these two effects can impede the proper operation of the fuse. In the event of a capacitor fault, excess current will flow through the fuse of the faulted unit. This current causes the fuse element to melt and vaporize. An arc will form across the vaporized section within the fuse tube.
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.
For high voltage capacitor fuses, this is generally defined as 8.3, 15.5 or 23 kV, the distribution system maximum voltages. Other voltage ratings may be available for special applications. When a capacitor fails, the energy stored in its series group of capacitors is available to dump into the combination of the failed capacitor and fuse.

The capacitor must be able to absorb this energy with a low probability of case rupture. Fuses are usually applied with some continuous current margin. The margin is typically in the range of 1.3 to 1.65 per unit. This margin is called the fusing factor.
Most capacitor fuses have a maximum power frequency fault current that they can interrupt. These currents may be different for inductive and capacitively limited faults. For ungrounded or multi-series group banks, the faults are capacitive limited.
