Customer ServiceEither 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.
For high voltage capacitor fuses, this is generally defined as 8.3, 15.5 or 23 kV, the distribution system maximum voltages. Other voltage ratings may be available for special applications. 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.
In general, the largest fuse size recommended for coordination with the tank rupture curve for the Cooper Power Series type SD, HD and XD capacitors is a NEMA 100K link and a NEMA 65T link.

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).
The fuse protecting the capacitor is chosen such that its continuous current capability is equal to or greater than 135% of rated capacitor current for grounded-wye connected racks, and 125% for ungrounded-wye racks. This overrating includes the effects of overvoltage, capacitor tolerance, and harmonics.
