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 failed capacitor and fuse must be able to absorb or hold off this energy with a low probabili-ty of case rupture of the capacitor unit.
Customer ServiceCapacitor fuses are designed to ANSI C37-41. They are current limiting operating without noise or discharge and are designed to be used indoors in a general purpose enclosure or outdoors in a weatherproof enclosure.
Customer ServiceGroup fusing is generally used for protecting pole-mounted distribution capacitor racks. In this type of application, the fuse links are installed in cutouts and mounted on a cross arm above the capacitor rack. The main purpose of the fuse on a capacitor rack is to clear a fault if a capacitor unit or any of the accessories fail.

Customer ServiceStress specific to the protection of capacitor banks by fuses, which is addressed in IEC 60549, can be divided into two types: Stress during bank energization (the inrush current, which is very high, can cause the fuses to age or blow) and Stress during operation (the presence of harmonics may lead to excessive temperature rises).
Customer ServiceThe purpose of a capacitor bank''s protective control is to remove the bank from service before any units or any of the elements that make up a capacitor unit are exposed to more than 110% of their voltage rating.
Customer ServiceMost 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.

Customer Servicein 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 capacitor element has a capacity about the same value as a unit

Customer ServiceIf the current exceeds the fuse''s rating, the fuse will blow, indicating a fault. Here''s how to conduct the test: Attach a fuse (where the fuse rating is calculated using the formula: In = 0.8 / C (A), where C is the capacitor''s capacitance) in series with the capacitor and connect them to a 220V AC power supply. Observe the Fuse:
Customer ServiceAfter the first fuse operation, it is desirable for an unbalance protection scheme to alarm operators of the condition. It is standard practice to provide an unbalance alarm after the first fuse operation and remove the bank from service after subsequent fuse operations, or when the voltage on any remaining capacitor unit exceeds 110% of its rated
Customer ServiceEach capacitor has an external fuse of either the exposed expulsion type or a sealed current limiting type fuse. Internally fused type of capacitor was pioneered by ABB in the 1970''s, for improved reliability, compared to the older externally fused design.

The capacitor bank protection fuse-links are described in IEC 60549 (High-voltage fuses for the external protection of shunt capacitors) . Also in this case the fuse should meet the requirements described in the general standard IEC 6028
Either 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.
There are no external or internal fuses on each capacitor unit. The following table summarizes the pros and cons of each of the capacitor bank fusing types: Anti-varmint birdcaps and insulating tubing on a fuseless or internally fused capacitor bank. The chance of varmint flashovers is greatly reduced.
The fuse for an individual unit in a capacitor bank must withstand the energy contributed to the failed unit by other capacitors in the same phase group. Short circuit (interrupting) – Must be greater than the short-circuit current that will ow when the capacitor unit is shorted.
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.
The main purpose of the fuse on a capacitor rack is to clear a fault if a capacitor unit or any of the accessories fail. The fuse must clear the fault quickly to prevent any of the equipment from failing violently and to assure continuous operation of the rest of the system (the unfaulted portion).
