How to prevent a false tripping in a capacitor bank?

To prevent a possible false tripping, the current set-ting is typically selected above the capacitor phase current [8.10.1]. If the phases of the bank are constructed in distinct separate structures, a flashover within the capacitor bank will begin as a short circuit fault over of a single-series group.

Why do capacitors tripping in due time?

Tripping in due time must take place if the stress to the healthy capacitor elements/units or the measured phase currents and/or their se-quence components exceed a predefined limit to minimize damage and to prevent possible rapid cascading of the fault by other failed elements/units.

What is a zero sequence current transformer?

The transformer connected here is called zero sequence current transformer. The phasor sum of three-phase current is not equal to zero, and the generated current is zero sequence current.

What is zero sequence current protection device?

Therefore, the zero sequence current protection device can be used to monitor the first phase to ground grounding fault. TT grounding system is often used in the three-phase four wire distribution system of lighting and power hybrid power supply for industrial, agricultural and civil buildings.

How does a capacitor unbalance protection work?

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.

What causes zero-sequence current?

uence current only exists under fault conditions. However, zero-sequence current can and oes exist under nonfault, normal load conditions. Unbalanced system conditions, such as those caused by nontransposed transmission lines or unbalance loading, can cause zero-sequence current to flow. Ground fault protection elements should never be s
