Voltage Balanced Differential Protection Instead of current balance, a voltage balance Mertz-Price system, shown in Fig.4, is used for feeder protection or equipment protection (unit protection).

Three-phase differential protection requires six voltage inputs. Three-phase voltage control requires three voltage inputs. We elected to design one instrument with two sets of three-phase voltage inputs (X and Y) which could be used as two three-phase voltage relays and simultaneously as a differential relay. Each of the two voltage relays

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).
All applications of power capacitors require the same basic protection objectives, including system short circuits between phases or to ground within the bank, and element overvoltages, caused by power system overvoltages or by the failure of other elements within the bank.
Fundamental voltage measurement only. Three functions of differential voltage protection are considered. Firstly, an alarm pick-up which is usually at 1.05 per unit of the capacitor element rating . This function is performed on a per phase basis. Secondly, a trip pick-up which is set to 1.1 per unit of the capacitor element rating .
Points of consideration are relay element stability (minimum element stability), independence of phase angle of the two (bus and tap) voltage inputs, and rejection of harmonic voltages to prevent mal-operation. Figure 10 shows the set up of the differential voltage protection application. The set up shows:
Consequently, short circuit protection for fuseless capacitor banks is the same as for fused capacitor banks and is generally provided in the form of phase and ground time-overcurrent relaying. Where available, the relaying is generally connected to current transformers located at the capacitor bank breaker.
The objective of the capacitor bank protection is to alarm on the failure of some minimum number of elements or units and trip on some higher number of failures. It is, of course, desirable to detect any element failure. II. ELEMENT AND UNIT FAILURES EXAMINED
