Zero-sequence current is caused by an unbalanced fault involving ground. Zero-sequence overcurrent elements can be set very sensitive (i.e., a low pickup setting) because the zero-sequence current generated under load conditions is typically very low. A common misconception is that zero-sequence current only exists under fault conditions.
Customer Serviceprotection input signals, consider the following points. We define the operating signal for the 59NU element as follows: V59NU= VN−3V0 (1) where V N is the bank neutral -point voltage and 3V 0 is the tripled zero-sequence bus voltage. When only a small number of capacitor units fail, the bus voltages remain balanced (3V 0 = 0), and using (1

Customer ServiceAt present, zero-sequence current protection is generally used as the main protection for single-phase ground faults in resistance-grounded inverter power stations.

Customer ServiceBy adjusting the zero-vectors in each set of inverters, the phase and magnitude of capacitor current change, leading to a decrease of the capacitor current under an appropriate combination of the zero-sequence voltages of the two sets of inverters. The remainder of this article is organized as follows.
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
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.
When the capacitor elements inside the capacitor unit fail short in a cascading fashion, there is a phase inversion of the unbalance protection operating signals at a time when the progressing fail-short capacitor element failure becomes a permanent fail-open capacitor unit failure because of the operation of the external fuse.
The components of the capacitor current suppressed by the proposed method vary under different operating conditions. At the speeds of 300 r/min and 900 r/min, the current at 2 fc is primarily suppressed, while at 1500 r/min, the current at 4 fc is suppressed from 5.06 to 2.23 A.
In order to protect capacitors from high over-voltages during fault conditions some form of voltage limiting device (usually in the form of MOVs) is installed to bypass the capacitor at a set current level. In the case of current inversion, the overall fault impedance has to be capacitive and will generally be small.
