Learn MoreThe function of fuses for protection of the shunt capacitor elements and their location (inside the capacitor unit on each element or outside the unit) is a significant topic in the design of shunt capacitor banks. They also impact the failure modality of the capacitor element and impact the setting of the capacitor bank protection.
The fuse, by its design, avoids absorbing all of the available energy on the series group. This fuse is used for capacitor banks with a large number of parallel capacitors. It can be used on applications with essentially infinite parallel stored energy, as long as sufficient back voltage can be developed to force the current to extinguish.
Over the years, a set of terms has been developed to apply capacitor fuses. The concept of applying fuses should be a simple engineering task; however, fuse operation is a non-linear function. The resistance of fuse elements changes non-linearly as they melt and clear.
Either of these two effects can impede the proper operation of the fuse. In the event of a capacitor fault, excess current will flow through the fuse of the faulted unit. This current causes the fuse element to melt and vaporize. An arc will form across the vaporized section within the fuse tube.

The capacitor must be able to absorb this energy with a low probability of case rupture. Fuses are usually applied with some continuous current margin. The margin is typically in the range of 1.3 to 1.65 per unit. This margin is called the fusing factor.
