The time–current curve must lie below or to the left of the case (can) rupture curve. Relaying for capacitor-bank protection includes overcurrent (for fault protection), overvoltage, system problem detection, and current or voltage unbalance, depending on bank configuration, for monitoring the condition of the capacitor units.
m, the undercurrent protection shall be blocked using the capacitor bank circuit breaker open status signal.To provide protection against reconnection of a charged capacitor to a live network and ensure complete ca acitor discharging before breaker reclosing, the relay shall include breaker re
3. Short circuit protection In addition to the relay functions described above the capacitor banks needs to be protected against short circuits and earth faults. This is done with an ordinary two- or three-phase short circuit protection combined with an earth overcurrent relay.
Given that the capacitor can generally accommodate a voltage of 110% of its rated voltage for 12 hours a day, this type of protection is not always necessary. Overcurrent of long duration due to the flow of harmonic current is detected by an overload protection of one the following types:
The amplitude of overcurrent of short duration due to the energizing of capacitor bank steps is limited by series-mounting impulse reactors with each step. Short-circuits are detected by a time-delayed overcurrent protection device.

The overload protection includes an integrated undercurrent function which detects the disconnection of a capacitor bank and inhibits the closing of the circuit breaker for as lon as the capacitor bank is partially charged.
