The Capacitor bank shall have proper electrical clearances for [95kV BIL] [125kV BIL] [150kV BIL] [Other]. The capacitor bank frame shall be an “inline” type.
a) To ensure a completely coordinated design, the pad-mounted capacitor bank shall be constructed in accordance with the minimum construction specifications required to provide adequate electrical clearances and adequate space for operation of the unit and any required handling of components. Specifications must be verified by factory.
The capacitor bank shall include the following features Pole mounting plate with 18 inch mounting hole spacings for direct pole mounting. The pole mounting bracket shall be supplied with grounding connector and with jump-proof lips. The pole mounting plate shall allow for mounting of the bank to either round wooded pole or concrete square poles.
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.)
