A control relay monitors the power factor of the controlled circuit(s) and is arranged to close and open appropriate contactors to maintain a reasonably constant system power factor (within the tolerance imposed by the size of each capacitor bank step). By closely matching power factor correction to that required by the load,
Since the detuning factor for the project was given as p=7%, one knows that the capacitor bank needs to be equipped with reactors. For this reason, some calculations have to be performed, in order to fit the power of the capacitors and its rated voltage taking into account reactive power of a detuning reactors.
EN 61921:2005 describes the general requirements for the capacitor bank. The most important of them are listed below: Index of protection depends of the place of the installation of a capacitor bank. If the capacitor bank is to be placed in the same place as the main switchgear or utility room next to it, IP 20 is enough.
The short circuit protection of the capacitors is provided by the switch disconnectors. For the capacitors the fuse link rated current should be 1.6 time of the rated reactive current of the capacitor. In=Q / (Un×√3) where: Q – rated power of the capacitor at rated mains voltage.
When capacitor units in a capacitor bank fail, the amount of increase in voltage across the remaining units depends on the connection of the bank, the number of series groups of capacitors per phase, the number of units in each series group, and the number of units removed from one series group.
ng resonance protection for capacitor banks. The overload protection includes an integrated undercurrent function which detects the disconnection of a capacitor bank and inhibits the closing of the circuit breaker for as lon as the capacitor bank is partially charged. The three-phase thermal overload protection can be used for reacto
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.
