Protection of shunt capacitor banks is described in references [8.10.1] to [8.10.5]. Shunt capacitor banks (SCBs) are widely used in transmission and distribution networks to produce reac-tive power support.
The unbalance protection should coordinate with the individual capacitor unit fuses so that the fuses operate to isolate the faulty capacitor unit before the protection trips the whole bank. The alarm level is selected according to the first blown fuse giving an early warning of a potential bank failure.
In the face of a power failure, the non-disconnection of the capacitor bank can cause a sudden surge of tension. This may damage sensitive equipment in the installation. Go back to the Contents Table ↑ 4. Protection of Capacitor Banks
