Customer ServiceGrounded banks provide a low-impedance path to ground for 0-sequence (ground or unbalanced) harmonic currents. These harmonic currents have the potential of exciting resonances and may also cause communication interference and nuisance ground fault relay operation. Grounded banks may cause ground fault relay operation when unbalanced due to a blown capacitor

Customer ServiceIf for any reason any of the phases that supply the motor are disconnected, the motor continues to operate with the remaining two phases. This is called phase failure or single phasing (Ezema, 2012). If a three-phase motor is operating and loses one of the phases, the motor will continue to operate at a reduced speed and experience vibrations. The current will also increase

Customer ServiceThe case study shown in Table 6 demonstrates that while the EGAT was highly efficient at detecting faults, it could not indicate the fault position in the capacitor bank. The EGAT standard method identifies the fault phase and location manually. A worker must turn off the power to the system and waste time to find the fault position.
Similarly, the phasor diagram method is another traditional method used to detect faults in a capacitor bank. The results shown in Table 6 demonstrate that the phasor diagram method was highly efficient for detecting faults in capacitor bank and locating the fault phases and locations.
The capacitor bank in normal condition with all healthy units have equivalent capacitance in each unit. This result in balance three-phase current. In the fault condition, the capacitance of a faulty unit decreases so the current of the fault phase also decreases. Hence, the power system becomes unbalanced.
In case of capacitor bank protection, it has illustrated that faults in a high voltage capacitor bank have been located by using the neutral current unbalance protection method [12, 13]. In the same way, phasor diagrams (arguments) have been used to locate faults in a capacitor bank.
Traveling wave and wavelet transform can locate faults in simple transmission systems owing to the time limitations of traveling waves and the fact that the wave is also directly affected by the wavelet signal. However, there has been little research on fault locating in high voltage capacitor banks, and the case studies are not comprehensive.
For the second condition occurred at 9 s, the capacitor unit is reduced to 4.2 kvar and display alarm condition (some capacitor unit failure). Finally at 17 s, the capacitor unit is further decreased to 2.1 kvar, which represent the fault condition (total failure in capacitor unit).
