Capacitor operation overvoltage
The basics of capacitor banks protection
Capacitor bank protection 1. Unbalance relay. This overcurrent relay detects an asymmetry in the capacitor bank caused by blown internal fuses, short-circuits across bushings, or between capacitor units and the racks in which they are mounted.. Each capacitor unit consist of a number of elements protected by internal fuses.

Failure mechanisms in ceramic capacitors
After a number of temperature excursions, for example due to circuit operation, the crack may propagate (Figure 3), creating an open-circuit device. In severe cases, the body of the capacitor may even fall out, leaving just remnants of ceramic surrounded by termination and solder joints. Figure 1: Extreme thermal shock cracks in MLCs

Troubleshooting VFD Problems – Overvoltage Fault
Solution: This issue of drive overvoltage fault due to utility capacitor switching can be prevented by adding a line reactor or a DC choke to the drive.Note that this will only work to prevent overvoltage fault on drives that are in operation (running condition). When the drive is in an idle ON state, adding a line reactor or DC choke may …
Capacitor bank switching (back to basics)
If the number of connected capacitor banks is increased, the overvoltage decreases and the overcurrent increases. An aspect to be considered is that overvoltages in the system do not exceed 2 p.u. of the nominal voltage when all capacitors are connected. Furthermore, it is necessary to apply different methods to minimize the damage on the ...
