Capacitor bank protective schemes must be designed and applied to provide the signals required for protective relaying to perform as expected. This document provides guidance to help engineers draft comprehensive and clear purchasing specifications for capacitor banks.
When designing a capacitor bank, many factors must be taken into consideration: rated voltage, kvar needs, system protection and communications, footprint and more. These factors govern the selection of the capacitor units to be used, along with proper grouping of these units.
Since this is typically a three-phase application and the most common single-phase capacitor unit sizes are 50 kVAR, 100 kVAR, 200, kVAR 400 kVAR, 500 kVAR, and 600 kVAR the most commonly specified total capacitor bank sizes are: (Note: Additional capacitor bank sizes can be furnished based on other combinations of the available capacitor sizes.)
