Section 2 of the paper describes the capacitor unit and how they are connected for different bank configurations.
Why are capacitor banks important in substations?
Capacitor banks play a pivotal role in substations, serving the dual purpose of enhancing the power factor of the system and mitigating harmonics, which ultimately yields a cascade of advantages. Primarily, by improving the power factor, capacitor banks contribute to a host of operational efficiencies.
What is capacitor bank protection?
ABB's capacitor bank protection is used to protect against faults that are due to imposed external or internal conditions in the shunt capacitor banks. Internal faults are caused by failures of capacitor elements composing the capacitor units, and units composing the capacitor bank.
Are pole-mounted capacitor banks protected?
