Applications of series capacitors are sufficiently diverse that protective relay engineers need some guidance on the reasons and considerations for different protection and control schemes. This guide is intended for engineers involved in the areas of protection specifications, evaluation, and operation of series capacitor banks.
Abstract: The application of protective relays on transmission-line series capacitor banks is covered. Ample discussion of the protection and control issues related to series capacitor bank installations is provided to the reader. Specific examples related to protective functions and testing procedures are provided.
A protective relay in which the response to the input quantities is primarily a function of the electrical circuit distance between the relay location and the point of fault. Drop out protective relaying of utility-consumer interconnections) Contact operation (opening or closing) as a relay just departs from pickup.
It is installed in the Main LT panel. Main LT panel is equipped with capacitors whose value depends on the value of the load connected with main panel. The capacitors are installed in the form of banks like 25KVAR, 50KVAR, 100KVAR etc. These capacitor banks are connected with the Power Factor Correction relay.
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
