The short circuit protection of the capacitors is provided by the switch disconnectors. For the capacitors the fuse link rated current should be 1.6 time of the rated reactive current of the capacitor. In=Q / (Un×√3) where: Q – rated power of the capacitor at rated mains voltage.
EN 61921:2005 describes the general requirements for the capacitor bank. The most important of them are listed below: Index of protection depends of the place of the installation of a capacitor bank. If the capacitor bank is to be placed in the same place as the main switchgear or utility room next to it, IP 20 is enough.
The voltage drop that can be calculated from the above Equation is the basis for the application of the capacitors. After using capacitors, the system increases the voltage due to improving the power factor and reducing the effective line current. Therefore, the voltage due to and IXL is reduced.
Since the detuning factor for the project was given as p=7%, one knows that the capacitor bank needs to be equipped with reactors. For this reason, some calculations have to be performed, in order to fit the power of the capacitors and its rated voltage taking into account reactive power of a detuning reactors.
If the capacitor bank is to be placed in the same place as the main switchgear or utility room next to it, IP 20 is enough. Section construction – in a device for reactive power compensation particular sections can be determined, placing them in separate partitions or within the same cubicle. Contents: 1. Enclosure
As others have said, the fact that the amount of energy being stored in a capacitor is a factor of the voltage squared makes having a bank of capacitors charged up to a high voltage seem appealing, though depending on the voltage level can be difficult to design around.
