These circuits typically employ comparators, voltage references, and protection switches. Undervoltage protection can be achieved by using a low-voltage cutoff circuit that disconnects the load when the supercapacitor voltage drops below a specified level. This prevents excessive discharge and helps maintain the supercapacitor''s health.

The alarm level is selected according to the first blown fuse giving an early warning of a potential bank failure.
The protection of shunt capacitor bank includes: a) protection against internal bank faults and faults that occur inside the capacitor unit; and, b) protection of the bank against system disturbances. Section 2 of the paper describes the capacitor unit and how they are connected for different bank configurations.
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.
