Particularly with sensitive applications, the internal protective devices of the capacitors must be supplemented by the user with suitable external protective mea-sures. External protective measures are even mandatory when capacitors are used without internal protective devices.
In addition to the relay functions described above the capacitor banks needs to be protected against short circuits and earth faults. This is done with an ordinary two- or three-phase short circuit protection combined with an earth overcurrent relay. Reference // Protection Application Handbook by ABB
Most internal protective devices can inter-rupt the voltage only within the capacitor. They are not fuses in the classical sense such as cable or device fuses which inter-rupt the voltage upstream from the faulty system component. 5. It is advisable to supplement internal protective devices with external protective 6.
Safety capacitors can be used to isolate the input and/or output if it is referenced back to a non-isolated buck on mains voltages, especially if a user has access to the connections or interface. Standards require the usage of protection and safety devices for all equipment connected to the grid or to subcircuits.
with internal protection: the melting of the related internal fuse eliminates the faulty individual capacitance: the capacitor remains fault-free, its impedance is modified accordingly. Capacitors should not be energized unless they have been discharged. Re-energizing must be time-delayed in order to avoid transient overvoltage.
Even if the test based on the capacitor standard is passed, this does not ensure comprehensive protection against all pos-sible overloading. Currently, a number of customers are requesting special tests on unprotected capacitors with extreme overvoltages and temperatures to prove safe capacitor per-formance.
