Customer ServiceThis paper discusses a new and unique concept of unbalance current protection and faulted string identification for three-phase shunt capacitor banks using fuseless capacitors. First, the relevant aspects of fuseless capacitor unit and shunt capacitor bank designs are discussed.
Customer ServiceThis paper describes the ATP (Alternative Transients Program) modeling and simulation of a protection scheme used to protect 161kV shunt capacitor banks in the TVA region.

Customer ServiceSo the detailed study of capacitor bank protection against switching transients is proposed in this paper. The static reactive power can be compensated with the help of switched capacitor banks at the sub-transmission or distribution level. By utilization of capacitor bank, power losses are minimized and power quality improved. [1][2]
Customer ServiceConsidering a fault location close to its source, then the capacitor discharges in oscillation waveforms if resistance is very low. The fault peak occurs at π/2, and the time to peak of capacitors is π/2 divided by the angular speed ω. The time to peak of capacitor discharging thus can be as low as a few microseconds. 2.

Customer ServiceIts operation has an inverse time-delay characteristic and depends on the thermal action of the current flowing through the tripping unit. In other words, the larger the overload current, the shorter the trip time. The thermal release provides protection against overloads. (see Figure 3, 4 - tripping characteristics of an MCB).

This paper discusses design considerations and system implications for Eaton''s Cooper PowerTM series externally fused, internally fused or fuseless capacitor banks.
Customer ServiceCapacitor trip devices are commonly used in switchgear to provide trip circuit power and to provide voltage sag ride through capability for digital relays. CTD is not commonly used for closing applications as it is expected that the normal control power will be available when closing is desired.
The insertion of resistance in between the system and capacitor banks is one of the common methods is used to protect the bank. capacitor bank plays a vital role to improve power factor and power quality. During the switching of the capacitor bank, the excessive voltage is dropped in the resistor.
The time–current curve must lie below or to the left of the case (can) rupture curve. Relaying for capacitor-bank protection includes overcurrent (for fault protection), overvoltage, system problem detection, and current or voltage unbalance, depending on bank configuration, for monitoring the condition of the capacitor units.
In addition to the relay functions described above the capacitor banks needs to be protected against short circuits and earth faults. This is done with an ordinary two- or three-phase short circuit protection combined with an earth overcurrent relay. Reference // Protection Application Handbook by ABB
The bank would need to trip ofline if two elements in the same fuseless string short (i.e. 20/18=1.11 or 111%, which is higher than 110%). When designing a capacitor bank, many factors must be taken into consideration: rated voltage, kvar needs, system protection and communications, footprint and more.
But during the switching of capacitors transients are produced in the system and leads to the failure of power electronic equipment. The proposed paper focused on capacitor bank protection against switching transients. Keywords: Capacitor Operation, Transient Current and Voltage, Capacitor Protection Techniques, Reactors.
