Understanding the principles of overcurrent protection and how to implement them effectively is key to ensuring electrical system safety and reliability. How Overcurrent Protection Works. Overcurrent protection operates by detecting excessive current levels in a circuit. When the current exceeds the rated capacity of the system, protective devices are triggered to
Overload of capacitors are today mainly caused by overvoltages. It is the total peak voltage, the fundamental and the harmonic voltages together, that can cause overload of the capacitors. The capacitor can withstand 110% of rated voltage continuously.
Given that the capacitor can generally accommodate a voltage of 110% of its rated voltage for 12 hours a day, this type of protection is not always necessary. Overcurrent of long duration due to the flow of harmonic current is detected by an overload protection of one the following types:
Capacitors of today have very small losses and are therefore not subject to overload due to heating caused by overcurrent in the circuit. Overload of capacitors are today mainly caused by overvoltages. It is the total peak voltage, the fundamental and the harmonic voltages together, that can cause overload of the capacitors.
Since the capacitors mostly are connected in series with a reactor it is not possible to detect overload by measuring the busbar voltage. This is because there is a voltage increase across the re- actor and the harmonic currents causing overvoltages will not in- fluence the busbar voltage.
The fundamental principles of over-voltage protection of load equipment are: 1. Limit the voltage across sensitive insulation. 2. Divert the surge current away from the load. 3. Block the surge current from entering the load. 4. Bond grounds together at the equipment. 5. Reduce, or prevent, surge current from flowing between grounds. 6.
Each capacitor unit consist of a number of elements protected by internal fuses. Faulty elements in a capacitor unit are disconnected by the internal fuses. This causes overvoltages across the healthy capacitor units. The capacitor units are designed to withstand 110% of the rated voltage continuously.
There are mainly three types of protection arrangements for capacitor bank. Element Fuse. Bank Protection. Manufacturers usually include built-in fuses in each capacitor element. If a fault occurs in an element, it is automatically disconnected from the rest of the unit. The unit can still function, but with reduced output.
