It covers methods of protection for many commonly used shunt capacitor bank configurations including the latest protection techniques. Additionally, this guide covers the protection of filter capacitor banks and large extra-high-voltage (EHV) shunt capacitor banks.
Moreover, the protection settings for the capacitor bank unfold systematically, elucidating the process of selecting the current transformer ratio, calculating rated and maximum overload currents, and determining the percentage impedance for fault MVA calculations.
After a brief review of capacitor bank design and failure mechanisms, the paper will examine and demonstrate calculations for both grounded and ungrounded banks. The general setting calculations to be examined include: phase overcurrent function, negative sequence overcurrent, bank overvoltage, and bus overvoltage.
Because capacitor bank equations are linear and there is no mutual coupling inside the bank, the underlying equations for the calculations are simple: the unit reactance ties the unit voltage and current while Kirchhoff’s laws tie all voltages and currents inside the bank. However, solving these underlying equations by hand is tedious.
Because only the ratio (α) of the two reactances matters, these calculations are very simple and can be done by hand by just inspecting the internal connection diagram of the capacitor unit and counting the capacitor elements (see Example C.1 and Example C.2).
