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.
For high voltage capacitor fuses, this is generally defined as 8.3, 15.5 or 23 kV, the distribution system maximum voltages. Other voltage ratings may be available for special applications. When a capacitor fails, the energy stored in its series group of capacitors is available to dump into the combination of the failed capacitor and fuse.
Stress specific to the protection of capacitor banks by fuses, which is addressed in IEC 60549, can be divided into two types: Stress during bank energization (the inrush current, which is very high, can cause the fuses to age or blow) and Stress during operation (the presence of harmonics may lead to excessive temperature rises).
When a capacitor fails, the energy stored in its series group of capacitors is available to dump into the combination of the failed capacitor and fuse. The failed capacitor and fuse must be able to absorb or hold off this energy with a low probability of case rupture of the capacitor unit.
The fuse is usually applied to series, large shunt and DC capacitor banks. Because of the high back voltage that is developed, this fuse must be used with several capacitors in parallel to limit the voltage build up, or a flashover may occur elsewhere in the capacitor bank. The CLXP cannot be used in inductively limited fault applications.
For shunt capacitor applications, the energy is equal to 3.19 joules per kVar. The available energy is then compared to the rating of the fuse and capacitor unit. This is one criteria for selecting either expulsion or current-limiting fuses for a given application. If the parallel energy is above 20 kJ or 6000 kVar, we apply current-limiting fuses.
If the capacitors are to be placed in banks comprised of both series and parallel combinations, the capacitor manufacturer must be consulted for fuse placement recommendations. The opening …
