It is then necessary to verify that the selected capacitors and reactors are suitably sized to limit inrush currents to less than a predefined maximum magnitude, which, for example, is 100 times the rated current, according to IEC 60871-1.
For each step power rating (physical or electrical) to be provided in the capacitor bank, calculate the resonance harmonic orders: where S is the short-circuit power at the capacitor bank connection point, and Q is the power rating for the step concerned.
It will be calculated from the following equation: For 3 phase capacitor with detuned reactor , the capacitance equal 3 x 332 μF at 400 V /50 Hz with blocking factor p = 7%. Calculate the capacitor KVAR. We should choose a capacitor with nominal voltage Un higher than Uc.
This discharge may cause a rupture of the failed unit with possible damage to the rest of the bank. To prevent it, the maximum reactive power of one series section should not be higher than 4,650 kvar at a rated voltage and 60 Hz frequency. Refer to IEEE Std. C37.99-1990 “IEEE Guide for Protection of Shunt Capacitor Banks 1.
The detuned reactor and capacitor assembly is capacitive for frequencies below fr, so allows reactive energy compensation. The detuned reactor and capacitor assembly is inductive, so prevents amplification of the harmonics. The serial frequency (fr) chosen must be below the first harmonic order present in the circuit.
To achieve this goal, local sources of reactive power may be used: either shunt capacitors for inductive load, or shunt reactors for capacitive load. Let’s discuss both options.
