Learn MoreFor all types of capacitor banks, protection against overvoltages that are caused by excessively high system voltage is generally provided by a high speed overvoltage relay connected to the substation bus voltage transformers. This relay trips the capacitor bank breaker or vacuum interrupter before capacitor damage can occur.
All applications of power capacitors require the same basic protection objectives, including system short circuits between phases or to ground within the bank, and element overvoltages, caused by power system overvoltages or by the failure of other elements within the bank.
Capacitor units are imposed to overvoltage across ele-ments within a unit as elements become shorted in case of failure. The overvoltage on the remaining ele-ments shall be considered. Excessive voltage on the remaining elements may lead to cascading failure dur-ing system transient overvoltages [8.10.1].
Series capacitor banks consist mainly of the capacitors as well as their protection system and function to increase power flow on an existing system by reducing line impedance. Their first application dates back to 1928 when GE installed such a bank – rated 1.2 MVar – at the Ballston Spa Substation on the 33 kV grid of New York Power and Light.
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. Reference // Protection Application Handbook by ABB
For capacitor banks having more than one series group, failure of individual elements causes the applied voltage to increase on the remaining elements and cans. There are three common methods of detecting can or element failure – voltage differential, neutral overvoltage and neutral overcurrent.
