The capacitor bank switching causes inrush current and high-frequency oscillation if there are two or more capacitor banks connected on the same bus. When it occurs repeatedly, the insulation from the electric equipment will weaken and breakdown. For this reason, we propose a method to reduce the inrush current using new controlled switching.

Learn MoreWe achieved this simplicity by working in per-unit values. It is apparent that an unbalance in capacitor bank voltages and currents is a result of a difference between the faulted and healthy parts of the bank. As such, the per-unit voltage or current unbalance is independent of the absolute characteristics of the faulted and healthy parts.
V. INTERNAL OVERVOLTAGE AND ITS APPLICATION IN SETTING THE UNBALANCE PROTECTION ELEMENTS A failure in a capacitor bank causes an internal overvoltage inside the bank (see Fig. 9 and Fig. 10). This overvoltage may cause more failures, which in turn creates even higher overvoltage, and eventually, leads to a cascading failure.
Each capacitor unit consist of a number of elements protected by internal fuses. Faulty elements in a capacitor unit are disconnected by the internal fuses. This causes overvoltages across the healthy capacitor units. The capacitor units are designed to withstand 110% of the rated voltage continuously.
Capacitor banks require a means of unbalance protection to avoid overvoltage conditions, which would lead to cascading failures and possible tank ruptures. Figure 7. Bank connection at bank, unit and element levels. The primary protection method uses fusing.
If the phases of the bank are constructed in distinct separate structures, a flashover within the capacitor bank will begin as a short circuit fault over of a single-series group. Such a fault produces very little phase overcurrent. For this type of fault, fast protection is provided by the unbalance protection.
The alarm level is normally set to 50% of the maximum permitted level. The capacitor bank then should be taken out of service to replace the faulty units. If not the capacitor bank will be tripped when the maximum allowed unbalance current level is exceeded.
