Each capacitor unit consist of a number of elements protected by internal fuses. Faulty elements in a capacitor unit are disconnected by the internal fuses. This causes overvoltages across the healthy capacitor units. The capacitor units are designed to withstand 110% of the rated voltage continuously.
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.
The protection of shunt capacitor bank includes: a) protection against internal bank faults and faults that occur inside the capacitor unit; and, b) protection of the bank against system disturbances. Section 2 of the paper describes the capacitor unit and how they are connected for different bank configurations.
l capacitor bank utilizing internally used capa itor units. In ral, banks employing internallyFigure 1.Capacitor unit.20fused capacitor units are configured with fewer capacitor units in parallel, and more series groups of units than re used in banks employing externally fused capacitor units. The capacitor units are
We achieved this simplicity by working in per-unit values. It is apparent that an unbalance in capacitor bank voltages and currents is a result of a difference between the faulted and healthy parts of the bank. As such, the per-unit voltage or current unbalance is independent of the absolute characteristics of the faulted and healthy parts.
V. INTERNAL OVERVOLTAGE AND ITS APPLICATION IN SETTING THE UNBALANCE PROTECTION ELEMENTS A failure in a capacitor bank causes an internal overvoltage inside the bank (see Fig. 9 and Fig. 10). This overvoltage may cause more failures, which in turn creates even higher overvoltage, and eventually, leads to a cascading failure.
