Unit Fuse Protection: Limits arc duration in faulty units, reducing damage and indicating fault location, crucial for maintaining capacitor bank protection. Bank Protection Methods: Use voltage and current sensitive relays to detect imbalances and protect the bank from excessive stress and damage.
The capacitance (C) of a capacitor is defined as the ratio of the maximum charge (Q) that can be stored in a capacitor to the applied voltage (V) across its plates. In other words, capacitance is the largest amount of charge per volt that can be stored on the device: [C = frac{Q}{V} label{eq1}] The SI unit of capacitance is the farad ((F)), named after Michael
Current-unbalance or voltage-unbalance relays are used to detect the loss of capacitor units within a bank and protect the remaining units against overvoltage. The relays must be set above the inherent unbalance that is caused by the capacitor tolerance, system voltage unbalance, and harmonic current or voltage.
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.

provide short circuit protection and to ride through capacitor inrush current. Inrush current is affected by the closing angle, capacitance, resistance and inductance of the circuit, and varies from one application to another. Inrush lasts for less than 1/4 cycle and is typically less than 25 times the capacitor''s current rating.
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

Types of Protection: There are three main protection types: Element Fuse, Unit Fuse, and Bank Protection, each serving different purposes. Element Fuse Protection: Built-in fuses in capacitor elements protect from internal faults, ensuring the unit continues to work with lower output.
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.
Whenever the individual unit of capacitor bank is protected by fuse, it is necessary to provide discharge resistance in each of the units. While each capacitor unit generally has fuse protection, if a unit fails and its fuse blows, the voltage stress on other units in the same series row increases.
Given that the capacitor can generally accommodate a voltage of 110% of its rated voltage for 12 hours a day, this type of protection is not always necessary. Overcurrent of long duration due to the flow of harmonic current is detected by an overload protection of one the following types:
