Learn MoreGenerally speaking, capacitor protection by surge arresters has been a difficult task before Z n O arresters became available. The high discharge currents and possible energies associated with an arrester operation at a capacitor bank heavily stressed the spark gaps in a S i C gapped arrester.
Many capacitor banks are operated without surge arresters. However, there are a variety of reasons to instal arresters: To prevent capacitor failures at a breaker restrike or failure. To limit the risk of repeated breaker restrikes. To prolong the service life of the capacitors by limiting high overvoltages.
With the introduction of Z n O surge arresters, it is possible to meet any energy demand by simply paralleling the necessary number of blocks even if the procedure to ensure current sharing is quite sophisticated. Switching surges of different origins can occur but, in general, it is the restrike cases that result in the highest arrester duties.
Even if it is desirable to select a breaker which minimizes the risk for restrikes, it is recommended to base the arrester energy rating on a restrike due to the reasons discussed above. Many capacitor banks are operated without surge arresters. However, there are a variety of reasons to instal arresters:
In practice, the gapped arresters in many cases served as ”fuses”. With the introduction of Z n O surge arresters, it is possible to meet any energy demand by simply paralleling the necessary number of blocks even if the procedure to ensure current sharing is quite sophisticated.
The high discharge currents and possible energies associated with an arrester operation at a capacitor bank heavily stressed the spark gaps in a S i C gapped arrester. The possible high energies could also result in overstressed SiC blocks.
