The most common and easiest connection method for a capacitor onto a bus bar is a screw or bolt on connection. Soldering or spot welding connection methods can also be used, but they greatly increase the cost and complexity of the design. In sum, the bus bar design starts along with the power electronics converter design.
The laminated structure of the bus bar creates a high frequency capacitor that helps mitigate the noise propagation , , though this unintended filter is likely not enough to completely remove the issue. An unavoidable result of fast switching devices is the high frequency harmonics, termed Electromagnetic Interfer-ence (EMI) .
The capacitor bank is connected at node 854, and phase C is designed to malfunction. The capacitance is set to 1.9252 mF per phase, which is similar to the rating of capacitors connected in the IEEE-34 system. It is connected to the grid through a vacuum switch, which is modelled as ideal.
A switched capacitor C1 is connected to the MV busbar. The series combination of the outgoing MV feeder and the MV/LV transformer has an inductance of L2. PFC capacitors C2 are connected to the LV busbar. Magnification occurs when the predominant frequency of the switching transient is approximately equal to the resonant frequency of the LV system.
As illustrated by Fig. 9, DC current distribution is improved by splitting the positive and negative terminals in three. This reduces ohmic losses and evenly spread the heat across the bus bar, which reduces the hot spots. Typically, the bus bar conductors are sized for a 30 C self-heating temperature.
The AC current on the bus bar circulates between five DC-link capacitors and three IGBT modules, as a result, the experimental verification for AC current distribution can be implemented by examining the currents in each DC-link capacitors. The current in one of the capacitors is shown in Fig. 17a, while a zoomed in view is shown in Fig. 17b.

Capacitor Banks: What is a Capacitor Bank? Advantages & Uses
A Definition. As the name implies, a capacitor bank is merely a grouping of several capacitors of the same rating. Capacitor banks may be connected in series or parallel, depending upon the desired rating. As with an individual capacitor, banks of capacitors are used to store electrical energy and condition the flow of that energy.
