Capacitors and Capacitive Reactance. Consider the capacitor connected directly to an AC voltage source as shown in Figure 2. The resistance of a circuit like this can be made so small that it has a negligible effect compared with the capacitor, and so we can assume negligible resistance. Voltage across the capacitor and current are graphed as

Capacitive Reactance is the complex impedance value of a capacitor which limits the flow of electric current through it. Capacitive reactance can be thought of as a variable resistance inside a capacitor being controlled by the applied frequency.
The reactance of an ideal capacitor, and therefore its impedance, is negative for all frequency and capacitance values. The effective impedance (absolute value) of a capacitor is dependent on the frequency, and for ideal capacitors always
Too large voltage, current, and reactive power harmonics induce capacitor failures. In most cases triplen and even harmonics do not exist in a three-phase system. However, there are conditions where triplen harmonics are not of the zero-sequence type and they can occur within three-phase systems.
A detuned capacitor system works out the function of power factor correction whilst preventing any amplification of harmonic currents and voltages caused by resonance between capacitor and inductance impedances of the electrical system. By adding an appropriately rated series reactor to the power capacitor, both elements form a low-pass resonant
If the resonant frequency of the series resonant circuit formed in this way ( capacitors and Inductor) deviates (is lower) by more than 10% from the frequency of the nearest harmonic, then one speaks of a detuned resonator circuit or an anti-resonance circuit.

Capacitive reactance, denoted by 𝑋𝐶 XC, is a measure of a capacitor''s opposition to alternating current (AC). Unlike resistance in direct current (DC) circuits, which dissipates energy, capacitive reactance results from the capacitor''s ability to store and release energy, leading to a phase shift between voltage and current.
capacitor reactance,, this compensation system can operate in an on-off manner so that the inductance of the thyristor-controlled reactor (TCR) can be changed by altering the TCSC firing angle, α. Therefore, by performing this manner the TCSC can provide a continuously variable capacitor through the elimination part of the impedance using the variable inductor, i.e. TCR.

Key learnings: Reactance Definition: Reactance is defined as the opposition to current flow in a circuit element due to inductance and capacitance.; Inductive Reactance: Inductive reactance, caused by inductors, stores energy in a magnetic field and makes current lag behind voltage.; Capacitive Reactance: Capacitive reactance, caused by capacitors, stores
Capacitive reactance is the opposition presented by a capacitor to the flow of alternating current (AC) in a circuit. Unlike resistance, which remains constant regardless of frequency, capacitive reactance varies with the frequency of the AC signal. It is denoted by the symbol XC and is measured in ohms (Ω).
Whether in a large industrial facility or a small commercial environment, anti-harmonic smart power capacitors can be seamlessly integrated into existing systems, providing immediate benefits. The reactance ratio of HY series capacitors is available in two options: 7% and 14%, which further enhances its effect of reducing harmonic distortion

ANTI-Harmonic Capacitors Application. In recent years, with the rapid development of technology, a large number of rectification, frequency conversion, and large-scale power electronic devices have been employed in power systems. Consequently, the pollution from harmonics to the power grid has become increasingly severe. This has made ordinary capacitors susceptible to
The Effects of Harmonics on Capacitors include additional heating – and in severe cases overloading, increased dielectric or voltage stress, and unwanted losses. Also, the combination of harmonics and capacitors in a system could lead to a more severe power quality condition called harmonic resonance, which has the potential for extensive damage.
Also, the combination of harmonics and capacitors in a system could lead to a more severe power quality condition called harmonic resonance, which has the potential for extensive damage. Consequently, these negative effects will shorten capacitor life.
Reactance in capacitor is created due to current leading the voltage by 90°. Normally the current and voltage follows Ohm's law and are in phase with each other and vary linearly. This phase difference cause decrease in current through capacitor when voltage across the capacitor increases. This can be proved easily as follows:
In the presence of harmonics, the total power factor is defined as total power factor = TPF = cos0 = Ptotal Stotal (5-6) where Ptotal and Stota1 are defined in Eq. 5-4. Since capacitors only provide reactive power at the funda- mental frequency, they cannot correct the power factor in the presence of harmonics.
Capacitor reactance plays a crucial role in frequency-dependent circuits such as oscillators, resonant circuits, and phase shifters. These circuits exploit the frequency-dependent nature of capacitors to achieve specific voltage phase relationships or resonance conditions, enabling applications in signal generation and modulation.
Capacitors are typically installed in the electrical power system – from commercial and industrial to distribution and transmission systems – as power factor correction devices. However, even though it is a basic component of a harmonic filter (aside from the reactor), it is not free from the damaging effects of harmonics.
