The inrush current affects the whole system from the power source to the capacitor bank, and especially the local bus voltage which initially is depressed to zero. When the switch closes to insert the second capacitor bank, the inrush current affects mainly the local parallel capacitor bank circuits and bus voltage.
The amount of inrush current into the capacitors is determined by the slope of the voltage ramp, expressed as Equation 1: Where IINRUSH is the amount of inrush current caused by a capacitance, C is the total capacitance, dV is the change in voltage during ramp up and dt is the rise time during voltage ramp up.
As the voltage increases, an inrush of current flows into the uncharged capacitors. Inrush current can also be generated when a capacitive load is switched onto a power rail and must be charged to that voltage level. The amount of inrush current into the capacitors is determined by the slope of the voltage ramp as described in
P Therefore, in back-to-back capacitor switching, there are two inrush currents that are produced: The first is created from the already energized capacitor discharging into the newly switched capacitor.
The simulation results for the worst case show the inrush current attains a peak value of approximately 11.4 kA and a maximum frequency of 831Hz. The simulation follows the hand calculations closely, and these values are within the limits set by the breaker standards. Scenario 4 All four legs of the capacitor bank are discharged.
The main objective of a capacitor switching study is to demonstrate that the peak switching magnitude and frequency of inrush current is less than the rating of the breaker. Simulation Results In this example, the PSCAD multiple-run component is used to energize the capacitor at different points along the voltage waveform.
