To allow for the effects of inherent unbalance, the unbalance protection system should be set to trip at a level of neutral displacement that will not cause a capacitor over voltage in excess of the manufacturer’s recommended maximum continuous operating voltage. Figure 2 below can help in meeting the above considerations.
I always thought that if you want to reduce arcing in a motor commutator, you should put some capacitance across the motor terminals. But recently, while reading application note AN905 from Microchip, I saw this: Here, capacitors are placed across mosfets.
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.
Test between terminals and case shall be carries out only for qualification approval test. For testing period of 1 s the voltage of the following table shall be multiplied by 1.25. Attention is drawn to the fact that repetition of the voltage proof test by the user may damage the capacitor.
Figure 2 below can help in meeting the above considerations. The figure shows that a 28% loss in phase kvar can result in a 10% over voltage. This is the ANSI/IEEE continuous over voltage limit for standard off-the-shelf shunt capacitors. Other limits are shown for setting the time-delay requirements on the relay.
This question often arises, and the answer is usually no for the following reasons: • Grounded capacitor banks can interfere with a facilities ground fault protection system and cause the entire facility to lose power (main breaker trip).
Position of brushes on the commutator in a DC generator
The brushes should be placed at the point where the polarity of the armature changes from positive to negative. This point is known as the neutral plane. It can also be determined by using a commutator gauge or by trial and error method.

Film Capacitors
EMI suppression capacitors, as the name implies, are used to reduce electromagnetic interfer-ence. They are connected directly to line and are therefore exposed to overvoltages and tran-sients, which could damage the capacitors. For this reason, EMI suppression capacitors must comply with the requirements of the following safety standards:

Grounded vs ungrounded capacitor banks 1
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 ...
