When capacitor units in a capacitor bank fail, the amount of increase in voltage across the remaining units depends on the connection of the bank, the number of series groups of capacitors per phase, the number of units in each series group, and the number of units removed from one series group.
The uniqueness of this scenario lies in the decision to install the capacitor bank at the 11 KV voltage level, even though the factory receives power from the grid at a higher voltage level of 132kV, with an approved connection capacity of 12 megawatts.
