System-Based Testing of Protection for Center-Tapped Shunt Capacitor Banks
A simultaneous failure of an equal number of capacitor elements on both halves results in a differential voltage of "0", while voltage stress on healthy capacitor elements increases and is not detected by the voltage differential protection, and backup protection is triggered. When six elements above and six elements below the tap fail, the voltage stress on the healthy …

Fuseless Capacitor Bank Protection
Figure 4: Voltage differential application on fuseless capacitor bank. Tripping from the voltage differential relay should be set to occur at the point where one more failure (element in the case of fuseless or blown fuse in the case of fused) will result in a voltage stress that exceeds 110% of rating on the remaining elements. Note that, it ...

Fundamentals of adaptive protection of large capacitor banks
This paper derives correct balance equations for short circuit protection of shunt capacitor banks taking into account inherent unbalances in the protected bank. Four methods are derived: voltage differential, compensated neutral voltage unbalance, phase current balance, and neutral current balance. As can be seen from key equations the proper way of balancing the …
Unified Shunt Capacitor Bank Control and Protection
Figure I: Fused Capacitor Bank With Voltage - Differential Protection Fuseless banks consist of one or more series strings of units, per phase. If a section in a unit fails, the electrodes weld together solidly enough to safely carry rated current. Since there are no units in parallel, it is not necessary to isolate the failed unit, Figure 2: Faults 500 kV Grounded-Wye …
