How to control and protect capacitor banks before something goes wrong

The purpose of a capacitor bank’s protective control is to remove the bank from service before any units or any of the elements that make up a capacitor unit are exposed to more than 110% of their voltage rating. When... Read more

Capacitor banks in substations: Schemes, relay settings, and protective measures

Let’s discuss capacitor banks, but this time, not the basics. Let’s study the double-star capacitor bank configuration and protective techniques used in the substations. How important is to choose the right current transformer ratio, calculate rated and maximum overload currents,... Read more
