When voltage differential is used for a fuseless capacitor bank, the bottom can in each phase is a single element protection module (PM). The voltage differential relay (87V) is connected to look at the difference between the bus voltage and the protection module voltage (see Figure 4).
Notably, the chosen protection strategy involves the incorporation of a neutral current transformer positioned between the two star-connected capacitor banks. An additional distinctive feature is the intentional decision not to ground the star point of these capacitor banks.
The protection of shunt capacitor bank includes: a) protection against internal bank faults and faults that occur inside the capacitor unit; and, b) protection of the bank against system disturbances. Section 2 of the paper describes the capacitor unit and how they are connected for different bank configurations.
For all types of capacitor banks, protection against overvoltages that are caused by excessively high system voltage is generally provided by a high speed overvoltage relay connected to the substation bus voltage transformers. This relay trips the capacitor bank breaker or vacuum interrupter before capacitor damage can occur.
The uniqueness of this scenario lies in the decision to install the capacitor bank at the 11 KV voltage level, even though the factory receives power from the grid at a higher voltage level of 132kV, with an approved connection capacity of 12 megawatts.
Relay protection of shunt capacitor banks requires some knowledge of the capabilities and limitations of the capacitor unit and associated electrical equipment including: individual capacitor unit, bank switching devices, fuses, voltage and current sensing devices.
