6 FAQs about [Capacitor differential voltage and current protection]
What is Relay Protection of shunt capacitor banks?
Relay protection of shunt capacitor banks requires some knowledge of the capabilities and limitations of the capacitor unit and associated electrical equipment including: individual capacitor unit, bank switching devices, fuses, voltage and current sensing devices.
Do fuseless capacitors provide unbalance current protection?
This paper discusses a new and unique concept of unbalance current protection and faulted string identification for three-phase shunt capacitor banks using fuseless capacitors. First, the relevant aspects of fuseless capacitor unit and shunt capacitor bank designs are discussed.
Can a voltage unbalance scheme be used to protect a capacitor bank?
Any scheme such as that of Figure 4(a) using a single neutral quantity, either voltage or current, to provide unbalance protection for the capacitor bank is subject to incorrect operation due to system voltage unbalance.
What is the protection of shunt capacitor bank?
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.
What is a capacitor bank?
I. INTRODUCTION Capacitor banks are designed with many configurations to meet system design constraints, and the protection engineer must be prepared to protect any of these configurations. The inputs available to the relay are voltage and current, with the instrument transformer location determined by the bank configuration.
Why do fuseless capacitor banks have higher failure voltages and currents?
But, typically, externally fused capacitor banks have higher failure voltages and currents than fuseless or internally fused banks because an external fuse blowing causes the loss of an entire unit. As a point of reference, fuseless capacitor banks have a unit construction, as shown in Fig. 1 . Fig. 1. Fuseless unit in a wye-connected bank
