I. INTRODUCTION Capacitor banks are designed with many configurations to meet system design constraints, and the protection engineer must be prepared to protect any of these configurations. The inputs available to the relay are voltage and current, with the instrument transformer location determined by the bank configuration.
Shunt capacitor banks are used to improve the quality of the electrical supply and the efficient operation of the power system. Studies show that a flat voltage profile on the system can significantly reduce line losses. Shunt capacitor banks are relatively inexpensive and can be easily installed anywhere on the network.
The single phase discharge coil is connected so as to bridge each phase leg of a capacitor bank. The secondary windings of the discharge coil are used for protecting relay system. The series reactor is connected in series with capacitors at neutral side of the bank. Fig.1.
If the capacitor bank is balanced and the system voltage is balance the neutral voltage will be zero. A change in any phase of the bank will result in a neutral or zero sequence voltage. VT and an overvoltage relay with 3th harmonic filter. It is simple but suffers in presence of system voltage unbalances and inherent unbalances.
When designing a capacitor bank, many factors must be taken into consideration: rated voltage, kvar needs, system protection and communications, footprint and more. These factors govern the selection of the capacitor units to be used, along with proper grouping of these units.
For certain capacitor bank configurations some faults within the bank will not cause an unbalance signal and will go undetected. For example: a) rack-to-rack faults for banks with two series groups connected phase-over-phase and using neutral voltage or current for unbalance protection; and, b) rack-to-rack faults for certain H-bridge connections.
