Capacitor banks reduce the phase difference between the voltage and current. A capacitor bank is used for reactive power compensation and power factor correction in the power substations. Capacitor banks are mainly used to enhance the electrical supply quality and enhance the power systems efficiency. Go back to the Contents Table ↑ 2.
Refer to the manual of the specific regulator used in the capacitor bank. This manual is always supplied with the capacitor bank. Make sure that there are no damaged segments on the display (abnormal brightness). Force the manual connection and disconnection of a step.
Clean the inside of the cabinet. Clean ventilation grilles. Check that the main switch turns on and of without having to force the mechanism. If there is an individual earth leakage protection for the capacitor bank, check its proper operation by pressing the test button. Check that the auxiliary control voltage is within the tolerance limits.
When capacitor units in a capacitor bank fail, the amount of increase in voltage across the remaining units depends on the connection of the bank, the number of series groups of capacitors per phase, the number of units in each series group, and the number of units removed from one series group.
Vacuum the dust and solid remains regularly. There is no estimated time frame for cleaning, it depends on the amount of dirt that penetrates the capacitor bank cabinet. Table 7-2.- Tightening torques of the cables to reactor terminals. 7.2.4 Key points for inspecting capacitors. Inspect the cables and terminals.
If there is an individual earth leakage protection for the capacitor bank, check its proper operation by pressing the test button. Check that the auxiliary control voltage is within the tolerance limits. If the capacitor bank has an autotransformer, check that it is in good condition and shows no signs of deterioration.
