The most critical equipment is the parallel protective system that prevents damage to the capacitors during power system faults.
Customer ServiceThe series capacitors are exposed to a wide range of currents as depicted in Figure 1, which can result in large voltages across the capacitors. In general, it is uneconomical to design the capacitors so that they can withstand these overvoltages, thus additional equipment is usually applied to pro-tect the capacitor. Obviously, the

Customer ServiceCapacitors with different physical characteristics (such as shape and size of their plates) store different amounts of charge for the same applied voltage (V) across their plates. The capacitance (C) of a capacitor is defined as the ratio of the maximum charge (Q) that can be stored in a capacitor to the applied voltage (V) across its plates.

Studies show that a flat voltage profile on the system can significantly reduce line losses. Shunt capacitor banks are relatively inexpensive and can be easily installed anywhere on the network.
Customer Servicebecomes an insulator until a large enough voltage is applied and current begins to flow. The magnitude of voltage where charges begin to flow is where the electrolyte begins to break down. This is called the decomposition voltage.

A discussion of their effect on the overall protection used on series compensated lines. First, however, a brief review will be presented on the application and protection of series capacitors. Series capacitors are applied to negate a percentage of and hence reduce the overall inductive reac-tance of a transmission line.
If a capacitor bank is to survive the expected life of the installation, this value must be known and absolutely guaranteed. The maximum protective level of a series capacitor bank is the ratio between peak voltage across the MOVs during a maximum fault event divided by peak value of the voltage across the capacitors at rated continuous current.
MOV units are at front, triggered gap is in box in back right and capacitors are to left of triggered gap. The varistor’s role in protection of capacitors in these applications is simple but also unique. Simple, because the arresters are installed for one purpose only – to limit the voltage across the capacitors during a fault on the system.
As for the series capacitor, it will be pro-tected once the current levels increase beyond the protective level of the bypass equipment. The presence of the transients may also excite one or more of the natural torsional frequencies of the mechanical shaft system of the generator(s).
As noted previously, the protection on the series capacitors will modify the voltage and current sig-nals and hence the relay performance. In the case of series capacitors protected by trigger gaps, when the capacitor voltage reaches the trigger level, the capacitor is immediately bypassed.
