The Lightning Capacitor is an epic trinket for DPS casters. As its Equip: ability implies, it is crit-based and thus might be priorized to Mages, Elemental Shamans, Balance Druids and Destruction Warlocks. For some classes and specs it is said to be the most powerful trinket in the game.
Some capacitors require their own protection. For example, Hydro One has a VAr-compensating series capacitor at the mid point of a 300 km section of 500 kV line. The capacitor is protected from through faults by a triggered gap serving as fast bypass. But that is not enough and surge arresters are still required to carry some of the current.
If a capacitor bank is to survive the expected life of the installation, this value must be known and absolutely guaranteed. The maximum protective level of a series capacitor bank is the ratio between peak voltage across the MOVs during a maximum fault event divided by peak value of the voltage across the capacitors at rated continuous current.
MOV units are at front, triggered gap is in box in back right and capacitors are to left of triggered gap. The varistor’s role in protection of capacitors in these applications is simple but also unique. Simple, because the arresters are installed for one purpose only – to limit the voltage across the capacitors during a fault on the system.
Capacitor withstand levels are essentially a function of the insulation and configuration of the capacitor bank. If a capacitor bank is to survive the expected life of the installation, this value must be known and absolutely guaranteed.
Abstract: This paper evaluates using metal-oxide-varistor (MOV) surge arresters to protect shunt-capacitor banks from overvoltages. Protection requirements and surge arrester duties are analyzed for both lightning transients and switching-surge overvoltages, using both digital and transient network analyzer (TNA) simulations.
