However, star-connected capacitor bank has disadvantages. It provides less voltage than a delta-connected capacitor bank and does not provide harmonic current. Moreover, it does not
Customer ServiceAn unbalance in the capacitor bank will cause an unbalance in the voltages at the tap point of the three phases. The protection scheme consists of a voltage sensing device connected between the capacitor intermediate point and ground on each phase. A time delay voltage relay with third harmonic filter is connected to the broken delta secondaries.
Moreover, the protection settings for the capacitor bank unfold systematically, elucidating the process of selecting the current transformer ratio, calculating rated and maximum overload currents, and determining the percentage impedance for fault MVA calculations.
The uniqueness of this scenario lies in the decision to install the capacitor bank at the 11 KV voltage level, even though the factory receives power from the grid at a higher voltage level of 132kV, with an approved connection capacity of 12 megawatts.
The primary objective of this capacitor bank is to enhance the power factor of a factory. Local regulatory standards dictate that the power factor for bulk supply connections must be maintained at 0.9 or higher.
Using the deviation codes capacitor units are arranged in the capacitor bank to equalize the string and total phase capacitance as much as possible. The process used generally results in the strings being balanced to within less than 0.5%.
Additionally, capacitor banks function as harmonic filters, addressing and minimizing harmonic distortions in the electrical system. Their presence also contributes to enhancing the short circuit MVA, reducing voltage dips during faults and bolstering the overall resilience of the power infrastructure.
