Basic capacitor bank design calculations are presented. A detailed discussion on the configurations and protection philosophies is described for single star earthed, single star H-bridge, double star, and C-type filter H-bridge capacitor banks.
The simplest method to detect unbalance in single ungrounded Wye capacitor banks is to measure the bank neutral or zero sequence voltage. If the capacitor bank is balanced and the system voltage is balance the neutral voltage will be zero. A change in any phase of the bank will result in a neutral or zero sequence voltage.

Abstract - This paper will discuss in detail a capacitor bank protection and control scheme for >100kV systems that are in successful operation today. Including its implementation and testing on a configurable and scalable substation IED that incorporates all the necessary advanced protection and logic control functions. 1. Introduction.
Two 80-MVAR 115-kV capacitor banks at Split Rock are installed to provide steady state voltage support. This paper provides an introduction to capacitor bank switching transients, illustrated using a simple single-phase system.
If the capacitor bank is balanced and the system voltage is balance the neutral voltage will be zero. A change in any phase of the bank will result in a neutral or zero sequence voltage. Fig. 1 (a) shows a method that measures the voltage between capacitor neutral and ground using a VT and an overvoltage relay with 3th harmonic filter.
The capacitor bank was re-energized at the voltage peak opposite in polarity with the trapped voltage to simulate the maximum transient. Table II shows the transient voltages for different combinations. Table II. Transient peak voltages for capacitor bank re- energization Cap.
The capacitor bank angle is defined as the angle between the unbalance current and the red phase voltage vector. In figure 7, consider the left star point as star point 1 and the right star point as star point 2. If the fault is in the red phase of star point 1, the unbalance current will flow from left to right in the neutral bridge.
A novel approach to unbalance voltage detection and the protection of fuseless single star earthed shunt capacitor banks is investigated, engineered and tested. This methodology explores the potential evolution towards distributed protection.
The capacitor bank itself indicates the star connection on a per phase basis. As previously described, the outdoor bay comprises of the following switching devices; busbar disconnectors (off load switching), a circuit breaker for on-load switching and for the isolation of faults, and earth switches for safety and maintenance purposes.
Inrush current from/into capacitor banks in back-to-back switching. Back-to-back cases: As in the case of the inrush transient, the switching takes place at the peak of the B-phase voltage. A plot of the inrush current, resulting from energizing the second capacitor bank in the presence of the first, is presented in Figure 12.
