What are the power quality concerns associated with single capacitor bank switching transients?

There are three power quality concerns associated with single capacitor bank switching transients. These concerns are most easily seen in figure 4, and are as follows: The initial voltage depression results in a loss of voltage of magnitude “D” and duration “T1”.

What happens if a switch closes to insert a second capacitor?

When the switch closes to insert the second capacitor bank, the inrush current affects mainly the local parallel capacitor bank circuits and bus voltage. What would cause a Restrike when Switching Capacitors? grounded cct.

Systems with higher X/R ratios result in longer duration transients. Transients associated with substation capacitor banks can last as long as long at 30 to 40 cycles. There are three power quality concerns associated with single capacitor bank switching transients.

What are multiple capacitor bank switching transients?

Multiple Capacitor Bank Switching Transients occur when a capacitor bank is energized in close proximity to capacitor bank that is already energized. Such a switching operation is common in multi-step automatic capacitor banks as shown in figure 1.

What happens when a capacitor bank voltage crosses phase a voltage?

The capacitor bank neutral voltage, however, follows the Phase-A voltage (red and blue curve on top waveform plot). When the phase A voltage or neutral voltage crosses the Phase-C voltage, Phase-C vacuum switch closes. At this time Phase-C and Phase-A vacuum switches begin to conduct current (see bottom set of waveforms).
