The simplest method to detect unbalance in single ungrounded Wye 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.
The scheme uses two voltage transformers per phase: one connected to a tap on the capacitor bank. The other, at the bank bus for single Wye banks; or, for double Wye banks, at a similar tap on the second bank. By comparing the voltages of both VTs, a signal responsive to the loss of individual capacitor elements or units is derived.
It is generally recommended that the neutral of capacitor banks be grounded only to systems that are effectively grounded. In the event of a phase-to-ground fault, a grounded capacitor bank neutral in an otherwise ungrounded system may lead to high transient overvoltages in the system and capacitor bank as a result of restriking of the arcing

Such increase in voltage and current in the bank could lead to additional failures. As shown below a fault on B phase capacitor will result in voltage rise of 1.732 (sqrt of 3) times the nominal line to neutral voltage which is the full phase-phase voltage on the other healthy phases.
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.
This common grounding is precisely achieved by connecting the negative end of the input DC voltage and the grid neutral point. The circuit topology comprises 11 power switches, three switched capacitors, and two diodes, resulting in a lower switch count compared to the previous topology in [ 13 ].
