Learn MoreAfter 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.
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.
We achieved this simplicity by working in per-unit values. It is apparent that an unbalance in capacitor bank voltages and currents is a result of a difference between the faulted and healthy parts of the bank. As such, the per-unit voltage or current unbalance is independent of the absolute characteristics of the faulted and healthy parts.
The IEEE Std C37.99 advocates numerical multistep unbalance the calculations. Often, about a dozen calculation steps are required to obtain an unbalance protection element operating signal. Some users develop their own short-circuit programs for unbalance calculations in capacitor banks.
The equivalent reactance of the group is: You can perform unbalance calculations for fail-open capacitor element failures by using the fractional failure size, FFRAC, obtained by using (C.4). If the capacitor unit fails open completely, then XUF = ∞ and FFRAC = 1, as expected. If there is no failure, then XUF = XU and FFRAC = 0, as expected.
