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.
Capacitor Bank Protection Definition: Protecting capacitor banks involves preventing internal and external faults to maintain functionality and safety. Types of Protection: There are three main protection types: Element Fuse, Unit Fuse, and Bank Protection, each serving different purposes.
Here the capacitor bank is connected in star and the neutral point is connected to the ground through a potential transformer. A voltage sensitive relay is connected across the secondary of the potential transformer.
Capacitor bank relaying, including the operating time of the switching device, should be coordinated with the operation of the system ground relays to avoid tripping system load. The unbalance trip relay scheme should have a lockout feature to prevent inadvertent closing of the capacitor bank switching device if an unbalance trip has occurred.
osing inhibit functionality. The capacitor bank discharge time shall be settable between 1 and 6000 seconds.The relay shall have current unbalance protec ion (51NC-1) for shunt capacitor banks to protect double Y-connected capacitor banks against internal faults. The function shall suit internally fused, externally fused and fuseless
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.
