Customer ServiceWhen designing a capacitor bank, many factors must be taken into consideration: rated voltage, kvar needs, system protection and communications, footprint and more. These factors govern the selection of the capacitor units to be used, along with proper grouping of these units.
A capacitor bank should continue its service with in the following limits. 110 % of normal system peak voltage. 120 % of normal system rms voltage. 135 % of rated KVAR. 180 % of normal rated rms current. A capacitor unit is normally designed for single phase.
The optimum arrangement for a shunt capacitor bank depends on the best usage of the available voltage ratings of capacitor units, fuses, and protective relaying. Nearly all substation units are linked wye. Distribution capacitor units, nevertheless, may be linked wye or delta.
Each phase consists of 12 units or 36 units for a three-phase bank. Each unit should be rated 9.96 kV and 667 kvar. For a fuseless bank, capacitor units are only connected in series (illustrated in Figure 10); they are never placed in parallel like an externally or internally fused capacitor bank.
