How to Protect Capacitor Banks? A capacitor comes in the form of a case with insulating terminals on top. It comprises individual capacitances which have limited maximum permissible voltages (e.g. 2250 V) and are series-mounted in groups to obtain the required voltage withstand and parallel-mounted to obtained the desired power rating.
Successful operation may be obtained by setting the high-set overcurrent stages at three to four times the capacitor rated current to override back-to-back bank switching.

Overcurrent (Protection against short circuit) 2. Zero sequence overcurrent (Protection against if any single capacitor unit is out of service)
In this paper, we introduce a method for performing unbalance calculations for high-voltage capacitor banks. We consider all common bank configurations and
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.
Capacitor unbalance protection is provided in many different ways, depending on the capacitor bank arrangement and grounding. A variety of unbalance protection schemes are used for internally fused, externally fused, fuseless, or unfused shunt capacitor. 1. Unbalance Protection Methods for Ungrounded Wye Banks
We achieved this simplicity by working in per-unit values. It is apparent that an unbalance in capacitor bank voltages and currents is a result of a difference between the faulted and healthy parts of the bank. As such, the per-unit voltage or current unbalance is independent of the absolute characteristics of the faulted and healthy parts.
If the phases of the bank are constructed in distinct separate structures, a flashover within the capacitor bank will begin as a short circuit fault over of a single-series group. Such a fault produces very little phase overcurrent. For this type of fault, fast protection is provided by the unbalance protection.
Because capacitor bank equations are linear and there is no mutual coupling inside the bank, the underlying equations for the calculations are simple: the unit reactance ties the unit voltage and current while Kirchhoff's laws tie all voltages and currents inside the bank. However, solving these underlying equations by hand is tedious.
A continuous overvoltage (above 1.1pu) on any unit shall be prevented by means of protective relays that trip the bank. Unbalance protection normally senses changes associated with the failure of a capacitor element or unit and removes the bank from service when the resulting overvoltage becomes excessive on the remaining healthy capacitor units.
