If the capacitor bank is de-energized with an ideal circuit breaker, it should be able to interrupt the current, switching instantly from a conductive to an insulating state, in this case its resistance should change from a zero to an infinite value, being able to avoid transient voltages.
The capacitor bank was re-energized at the voltage peak opposite in polarity with the trapped voltage to simulate the maximum transient. Table II shows the transient voltages for different combinations. Table II. Transient peak voltages for capacitor bank re- energization Cap.
Multiple Capacitor Bank Switching Transients occur when a capacitor bank is energized in close proximity to capacitor bank that is already energized. Such a switching operation is common in multi-step automatic capacitor banks as shown in figure 1.
When one or more capacitor banks are switch on when there are others previously energized (Back to back), overvoltages will arise in local and remote buses. These overvoltages are typically smaller than those obtained when the circuit breaker of the first capacitor bank was closed.
Systems with higher X/R ratios result in longer duration transients. Transients associated with substation capacitor banks can last as long as long at 30 to 40 cycles. There are three power quality concerns associated with single capacitor bank switching transients.
There are three power quality concerns associated with single capacitor bank switching transients. These concerns are most easily seen in figure 4, and are as follows: The initial voltage depression results in a loss of voltage of magnitude “D” and duration “T1”.
