Power factor
Low power factor (cos f)results in
• Higher energy consumption and costs
• Less power distributed via the network
• Power loss in the network
• Higher transformer losses
• Increased voltage drop in power distribution networks.
Power FactorAs electrical power demand increasing day by day the awarness of the necessity of the energy saving is also increasing. So awarness of power quality increases. The power factor correction (PFC) and harmonic filtering is a need of the hour. Its a way of fast return of investment.
Havells is single window for power quality solution togeather with
• Application know-how • Technical skills • Extensive experience in the field of power quality improvement
Power factor improvement
Power factor improvement can be achieved by
• Compensation of reactive power with capacitors
• Active compensation – using semiconductors,
• Overexcited synchronous machine (motor / generator)
Types of PFC
(Detuned or conventional)
• Individual or fixed compensation (each reactive power producer is individually compensated)
• Group compensation (reactive power producers connected as a group and compensated as a whole)
• Central or automatic compensation (by a PFC system at a central point),
• Mixed compensation.

Power factor correction (PFC) capacitors produce the necessary leading reactive power to compensate the lagging reactive power. They should be capable of withstanding high inrush currents caused by switching operations (>100 · IR). If they are connected in parallel, i.e. as banks, the inrush current will increase (≥150 · IR) because the charging current comes from the power line as well as from other capacitors connected in parallel.
Metalized plastic compact capacitors with self-healing properties and a polypropylene dielectric. Film metallization with zinc/aluminum alloy results in high performance and a low film thickness allowing significantly more compact dimensions and a lower weight.
In the event of thermal or electrical overload, an electric breakdown occurs. The dielectric in the breakdown channel is broken down into highly compressed plasma that explodes out of the breakdown channel and pushes the dielectric layers apart. The discharge contin-ues within the spreading charge continues within the spreading plasma via the metal layers so that the metal surrounding the faulty area is completely burnt out. This produces perfect isolation of the faulty area within microseconds. The self-healing process results in negligible capacitance loss – less than 100 pF per event. The capaci-tor remains fully functional during the entire process.

Power Factor Correction
Capacitors are most cost effective and reliable static devices which
can generate and supply reactive power (energy). Capacitors consume virtually negligible active power and able to produce reactive power locally, thus enabling Power Factor Correction for inductive loads.

Effects of Reactive Energy
It is now obvious that both active and reactive energy are necessary inputs in all electrical systems however the flow of reactive power has certain negative aspects which results in the increased cost of electrical systems and also drops in the efficiency of systems operationsThe increased flow of reactive power results in the following.

Under normal operating conditions certain electrical loads (e.g. induction motors, welding
equipment, arc furnaces and fluorescent lighting) draw not only active power from the
supply, but also inductive reactive power (KVAr).This reactive power is necessary for the
equipment to operate correctly but could be interpreted as an undesirable burden on the
supply. The power factor of a load is defined as the ratio of active power to apparent power,
i.e.kW:kVAandisreferredtoascosf. The closer cosf is to unity, the less reactive power
isdrawnfromthesupply:
Power Factor = Cos f

Reduction in line currentInstallation of PFC equipment results in,• Reduction in current drawn from source• Reduction in conductor cross section and reduced losses
The table shows the Multiplying Factor(MF) for the conductor crosssectionincrease for fall in power factor.
Example: Calculation of reduction of line current if PF improved from 0.60 to 1.00Load=350kW
1. KVA1 = kW/PF1
= 350 / 1.00 = 350 kVA I1 = KVA x 1000 / Ö3 x V = 583 x 1000 / Ö3 x 440 = 765 A (Before PF compensation)
2. KVA2 = kW/PF2
= 350/0.60 = 583 KVA I2 = KVA x 1000 / Ö3 x V = 350 x 1000 / Ö3 x 440 = 459 A (After PF compensation)
Savings in line current Multiplying Factor = I1 / I2 = 765 / 459 = 1.67
Improvement in voltage regulation Installing PFC equipment increases the voltage at the point of connection, which compensates the fall in voltage due to poor Power Factor

Types of compensation Broadly, there are two types of compensation:
• Fixed compensation
• Variable compensation
Fixed compensation
This arrangement uses one or more capacitors to provide a constant level of compensation.
Control may be
• Manual:bycircuit-breakerorload-breakswitch
• Semi-automatic:bycontactor
• Direct connection to an appliance and switched with it
These capacitors are applied:
• At the terminals of inductive loads (mainly motors), at bus bars connecting numerous small motors and inductive appliances for which individual compensation would be too costly
• In cases where the load factor is reasonably constant
Variable compensation
• IPFC panels
• Contactor / Thyristor based
• ePFC
• Electronic VAr compensator with IGBT
The primary reason for Variable compensation is the variation of loads in the network. In many applications the process are not constant through out the day, hence the reactive energy required varies as per the load profile, to eliminate the risk of leading power factor and to optimize the kVA demand, the variable compensation techniques are used.
Modes of compensationThe selection of the Power Factgor Correction equipment can follow 3 levels of compensation
• Central compensation
• Group compensation
• Individual compensaion

The design of the Low Voltage Power Factor Correction banks

including 1kV.
Introduction
Modern Power network cater to a wide variety of electrical and
power electronic loads, which create a varying power demand
on the supply system. It therefore becomes practically difficult
to maintain a consistent power factor by the use of fixed
compensation i.e. fixed capacitor to be manually switched ON
and OFF to suit the variation of the load. This will lead to situation
where the installation can have a low power factor causing higher
demand charges and levy of power factor penalties.
In addition to not being able to achieve the desired power
factor that the use of fixed compensation can result in leading
power factor under certain load conditions, which is unhealthy
for the installation as it can result in over voltages, saturation of
transformers, mal-operation of diesel generating sets, penalties
by electricity supply authorities etc.
It is therefore necessary to automatic switching operation of the
suitable capacitor depending upon the load fluctuations without
manual intervention. This compensation is best suited to the load
requirements.
It can be achieved by using Automatic Power Factor Correction
(APFC) System which can maintain consistently high power
factor, without leading power factor operation.

• Toprotectagainstanyelectricalfaultsinamannerthat
will ensure safe isolation of the power factor correction
equipment.
Disadvantages of having poor power factor are generally understood as follows:
• MorekVAdemandforthegivenkWloadandpenaltyforpoor
power factor, hence higher running cost (electricity bill).
• More line current for the given kW load and hence higher
rated transformer, switchgears and cables are required, hence
higher capital cost.
• MorethelinecurrentforthegivenkWloadandhencehigher
losses at the transformer, switchgears and cables, hence
higher running cost.
• More line current for the given kW load- poor utilization of
all electrical distribution network and hence poor return on
investment.
• Higher voltagedrops in thedistribution network hencepoor
performance of electrical equipments resulting in production
loss.
• Higher voltage fluctuations hence damage to electrical
equipments resulting in production loss.
Need to correct the poor power factor:
If we are able to correct the poor power factor to near unity on
all occasions at all loads, we can bring down the kVA demand,
line losses, increase the utilization of the distribution equipments,
increase the performance of electrical equipments, avoid damages
to electrical equipments and avoid production losses due to power
related problems. Another major advantage is that unity power
factor not only avoids penalty but also brings in incentive from
Electricity Board for higher power factor. All the above savings in
revenue expenditures improves the bottom line of the company
directly adding to the profit. Hence the investment on a good
power factor correction system will give an attractive payback.
Subsequently the return on the investment will be high.
Various Methods Of Power Factor Correction System
Using Power Capacitors, the poor power factor can be corrected
inthefollowingmethods:
• By providing fixed value of capacitors to the distribution
network at various points. They will be switched in/out as per
the load manually.

Anti-Resonance Harmonic Filter
GeneralThe increasing use of modern power electronic apparatus (drives, uninterruptible power supplies, etc) produces nonlinear current and thus influences and loads the network with harmonics (line pollution). The power factor correction or capacitance of the power capacitor forms a resonant circuit in conjunction with the feeding transformer. Experience shows that the selfresonant frequency of this circuit is typically between 250 and 500 Hz, i.e. in the region of the 5th and 7th harmonics.
Sucharesonancealthoughcanleadtothefollowingundesirableeffects:
• Overloadingofcapacitors
• Overloadingoftransformersandtransmissionequipment
• Interferencewithmeteringandcontrolsystems,computersandelectricalgear
• Resonanceelevation,i.e.amplificationofharmonics
• Voltagedistortion.
These resonance phenomena can be avoided by connecting capacitors in series with filter reactors in the PFC system. These so called “detuned” PFC systems are scaled. in a way that the self-resonant frequency is below the lowest line harmonic. The detuned PFC system is purely inductive seen by harmonics above this frequency. For the base line frequency (50 or 60 Hz usually), the detuned system on the other hand acts purely capacitive, thus correcting the reactive power.

Losses
The 50 Hz losses are comparatively low but when the filter circuit reactors are installed into the cabinet, they are charged with additional currents, predominantly those of the 5, 7 & 11 harmonics. Then the total heat losses dissipated can be of a level whereby they have to be extracted from the cabinet, by means of fans.

When installing capacitors for PFC purpose, the problem ofdealing with harmonics has to be faced. They have to be taken into account when designing the PFC system in order to prevent parallel and / or series resonance conditions that would damage thewholeelectricalsystem.WhenPFCcapacitorsareconnected,the inductance of the transformer together with the capacitors forms a resonant circuit that could be excited by a harmonic current generated by the load. This resonant circuit has a resonance frequency, and if a harmonic current of this frequency (or close to it) exists, it will lead the circuit into a resonance condition where high currentwill flow through the branches (L: the transformer,and C: the capacitor bank), overloading them and raising thevoltage across them and across the whole electrical system that is connected in parallel. PFC detuned filtering is a tech nique to correct the power factor avoiding the risk of resonance condition performed by shifting the resonance frequency to lower values where no harmonic currents are present.
This is achieved by modifying the basic LC circuit formed by the transformer and the capacitor bank, introducing a filter reactor in series with the capacitors, making this way a more complex resonant circuit but with the desired feature of having a resonance frequency below the first existing harmonic. This way it’snotpossibletohavearealresonancecondition.Besidesthismain objective, the reactor connected in series with capacitors form a series resonant circuit with a certain tuning frequency at which the branch will offer a low impedancepath. Filtering of harmonic currents and “cleaning” of the grid will be achieved. Components for PFC detuned filters must be carefully selected according to the desired PFC purpose, to the harmonics present in the system, to some features of the system like short circuit power and impedances, to the desired filtering effect and to the characteristics of the resonant circuit configured.
For example, the voltage across the capacitors will be higher than the nominal grid voltage when they have a reactor connected in series. The reactors must be selected in line with the inductance value to obtain the desired tuning frequency and current capabi lity high enough for the harmonic current absorption that can be expected. The tuning frequency is usually indirectly referred to as the detuning factor p and expressed as a percentage.

9) Select the proper components using Havells tables for PFC-DF and standard values for effective power, the voltage and frequency of your grid, and the determined detuned factor p.
10) Always use genuine Havells application-specific designed components for PFC-DF. Please observe that reactors are specified for their effective power at grid voltage and frequency. This power will be the real effective power of the whole LC set at fundamental frequency. Capacitors for PFC-DF must beselectedforahigherratedvoltagethanthegrid’sbecauseof the overvoltage caused by the series connection with the reactor. Contactors for capacitors are designed as application-specific to reduce inrush capacitors currents and to handle capacitive loads in a reliable way.
PFC detuned filtering is an engi neer ing speciality that takes ex per ienced know-how to implement it in a satisfying and safe way. The design-instructions for detuned PFC systems on page 75 have to be followed to ensure an optimum performance of the PFC system.

GeneralIPFC Relay for Power Factor Correction in Low Voltage applications measures the actual power factor and connect or disconnect capacitors to achieve a target power factor. The single phase electronic measuring system detects the reactive and active component of the network through the current and voltage path. From this it calculates the phase shift between current and voltage and compares this with the set target power factor.
If there are deviations of the power factor, capacitor stages are switched in and out by the IPFC relay. The contactor control logic is optimised so that the desired power factor is achieved with minimum switching operations, thus ensuring an optimised life cycle of the capacitor bank.

INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
Ambient temperature
Capacitors are divided into temperature classes, Each class in represented by a number followed by a letter e.g. -250/D. The number is the lowest ambient temperature at which a capacitor may operate. The upper limit temperature is indicated by the letter D, standing for 550C. A maximum case temperature of 600C. must not be exceeded. Temperature is one of the main.
Exceeding maximum allowed temperature may set the safety device out of operation.
Inrush current
Switching LV PFC capacitors, especially when they are in parallel with others that are already energized, can cause high inrush currents of up to 200 times rated current. This leads to additional stress on contactors as well as capacitors and reduces their useful life. In addition, high inrush currents have a negative effect on power quality, producing transients and voltage drops.
As per IEC 60831 standard, a maximum of 5000 switching operations per year is acceptable.
Harmonics
Harmonics are produced in the operation of electric loads with a nonlinear voltage/current characteristic e.g. rectifiers and inverters for drives, welding apparatus and uninterruptible power supplies). Harmonics are sinusoidal voltages and currents with higher frequencies of a multiple of the 50 or 60 Hz line frequency.
Note:Inapplicationssubjecttoharmonics,youshouldonlyusepower capacitors with reactors, so called detuned capacitor banks. Depending on the selected series resonant frequency, part of the harmonic current is absorbed by the power capacitor. The remainder of the harmonic current flows into the superordinate system. The use of power capacitors with reactors reduces harmonic distortion and lesser the disturbing effect on proper operation of other electric loads.
A major reason for installing detuned capacitor banks is to avoid resonance. Resonance can multiply existing harmonics and create power quality problems, as well as causing damage to distribution equipment.
Resonance cases must be avoided by appropriate application design in any case!
Max. total rms capacitor current (incl. fundamental harmonic current) specified in technical data of the specific series must not be exceeded
Safety
• Ensure good effective grounding for capacitor enclosures.
• Provide means of disconnecting and insulating a faulty component/bank.
• Handle capacitors carefully, because they may still be charged even after disconnection due to faulty discharging devices.
• Follow good engineering practice.
• Do not use HRC fuses to power a capacitor up and down (risk of arcing).
• Remember that the terminals of capacitors, connected bus bars and cables as well as other devices may also be energized.
Over current and short circuit protection
• Use HRC fuses or MCCBs for short circuit protection. Short circuit protection and connecting cables should be selected so that 1.5 times the rated capacitor current can be permanently handled.
• HRC fuses do not protect a capacitor against overload-they are only for short circuit protection.
• The HRC fuse rating should be 1.6 to 1.8 times rated capacitor current.
• Do not use HRC fuses to switch capacitors (risk of arcing).
• Use thermal magnetic overcurrent relays for overload protection.
Maintenance
• Periodically check that connections and terminals are tight.
• Regularly clean terminals/bushing to avoid short circuits due to dust and soiling.
• Check short circuit protection fuses.
• Make a current reading twice annually to see if application conditions have altered.
• Consider upgrading or modifying the PFC system if the application environment has changed.
• In the event of a current above nominal, check your application for possible modification.
• In the event of a significant increase in nonlinear loading, call consultant for a harmonics examination.
• If harmonics are present consider installation of a detuned capacitor bank (reactors).
• Checkdischargeresistors/reactorsandtheirfunctioning:
- Power the capacitor up and down
- The voltage across the terminals must fall to <50 V within 60s.
Capacitor life expectancy
Capacitors operation between any rated value and the corresponding absolute maximum rating is an overload that derates life expectancy of the device.
Simultaneous overload conditions or exceeding any absolute maximum rating may reduce life expectancy significantly.

QC: active power neededP: total reactive powerϕ1: actual angle of cos ϕ actualϕ2: target angle of cos ϕ target
The reactive power is the power consumed in an AC circuit due to the expansion and collapse of magnetic (inductive) and electrostatic (capacitive) fields.
The power factor of an AC electrical power system is defined as the ratio of the real (active) power to the apparent power.
When the AC load is partly capacitive or inductive, the current waveform is out of phase with the voltage. This requires additional AC current to be generated that is not consumed by the load, creating I2R losses in power cables. Capacitors are used to supply reactive energy to inductive loads. Reactive energy must be produced as closely as possible to the loads to prevent unnecessary flow of current in the network. This is known as power factor correction.
Connection and rating of capacitors
The reactive power of the capacitor is a function of its rated voltage andcurrent.

In the diagram below, the power triangle shows an initial power factorof 0.70 for a 100 kW (real power) inductive load. The reactive power re-quired by the load is 100 kvar. By in-stalling a 67-kvar capacitor, the apparent power is reduced from 142to 105 kvar, resulting in a 26% reduction in current. The power factoris improved to 0.95.

Reactive power compensation for Motor
The recommended capacitor rating for motor should be Sized to compensateup to90%of themotormagnetizationCurrentofmotor, to avoid self excitation phenomenon. The below table gives the selection chart for Capacitors as per the hp rating of the motor.
Loads in industrial and public electrical networks are primarily of an ohmic inductive nature.
The purpose of systems for power factor correction in networks is to compensate the generated lagging reactive power by leading reactive power at defined nodes. In this way impermissibly high voltage drops and additional ohmic losses are also avoided. The necessary leading power is produced by capacitors parallel to the supply network, as close as possible to the inductive load. Static capacitive compensation devices reduce the lagging reactive power component transmitted over the network. If network conditions alter, the required leading reactive power can be matched in steps by adding and taking out single power capacitors (automatic PFC) to compensate the lagging reactive power.
Advantages of power factor correction
• Payback in 8 to 24 months through lower power costs.
Power factor correction reduces the reactive power in a system. Power consumption and thus power costs drops in proportion.
• Effective installation use
An improved power factor means that an electrical installation works more economically (higher effective power for the same apparent power).
• Improved voltage quality
• Reduced voltage drop
• Optimum cable design
Cable cross-section can be reduced with improvement of power factor (less current). In existing installations for instance, extra or higher power can be transmitted.
• Reduced transmission losses
The transmission and switching devices carry less current, i.e. only the effective power, meaning that the ohmic losses in the leads are reduced.
Main components of Capacitor
Power factor correction capacitors produce the necessary leading reactive power to compensate the lagging reactive power. PFC capacitors should be capable of withstanding high inrush currents caused by switching operations (>100*IR). If capacitors are connected in parallel, i.e. as banks, the inrush current will increase (=150*IR) because the charging current comes from the grid as well as from capacitors parallel to the one switched.
PFC controller
Modern PFC controllers are microprocessor based. The microprocessor analyses the signal from a current transformer and produces switching commands to control the contactors that add or remove capacitor stage Intelligent control by microprocessor-based PFC controllers ensures even utisation of capacitor stages, minimised number of switching operations and optimised life cycle of the capacitor bank.
Capacitor contactor
Contactors are electromechanical switching elements used to switch capacitors or reactors and capacitors in standard or detuned PFC systems. The switching operation can be performed by mechanical contacts or an electronic switch (semi conduction). Always used capacitor duty contactors for capacitor switching. The latter solution is preferable if fast switching is required for a
sensitive load for example.
Reactor
Power distribution networks are increasingly subjected to harmonic pollution from modern power electronic devices, so called nonlinear loads, e.g. drives, uninterruptible power supplies, electronic ballasts. Harmonics are dangerous for capacitors connected in the PFC circuit, especially if the capacitors operate at resonant frequency. The series connection of reactor and capacitor to detuned the series resonant frequency (the capacitor's resonant frequency) helps to prevent capacitor damage. Most critical frequencies are the 5th and 7th harmonic (250 and 350 Hz at 50 Hz). Detuned capacitor banks also help to reduce the harmonic distortion level and clean the network.
Fuse
A HRC fuse / MCCB acts as a safety device for short circuit protection.
• The HRC fuse rating should be 1.6 to 1.8 times nominal capacitor current.

Reactive power compensation for Transformer
Power and distribution transformers, which work on the principle
of electromagnetic induction, consume reactive power for their
own needs even when its secondary is not connected to any load.
The power factor will be very low under such situation. To improve
the power factor, it is required to connect a fixed capacitor or a
capacitor bank at the LT side of the transformer. Below table gives
the approximate KVAr of capacitors required.

Current rating/maximum admissible over current
The rated current (IR) is the current utilised for rated voltage (VR)
and frequency (in Hz.) excluding transient. Maximum permitted
rms current for each particular capacitor is specified in the data
sheet. Continuously exceeding of the nominal current will lead to
increased self heating of the capacitor and reduce life time. The
maximum admissible overcurrent (I max) of 1.3*IR to IEC 60831
standard is maintained by all capacitors is this catalogue. The
figures for overcurrent allow for the combined effects of harmonics,
overvoltage and capacitance tolerance.
CautionsTemperature class of capacitors to standard IEC 60831 / IS 13340
Capacitors are divided into temperature classes. Each class is
represented by a number followed by a letter. e.g. -25/D. The
number is the lowest ambient temperature at which a capacitor
may operate. the upper limit temperature is indicated by the letter
(see table above).
The use of a capacitor depends very much on temperature. Proper
cooling of a capacitor must ensure that the minimum temperature
is not exceeded of rewised useful life otherwise useful life is
degraded.Whenconfiguringacircuit,oneshouldmakesurethat
capacitors are not subjected to heat from adjacent components
(reactors, bus bars, etc.). Forced cooling is preferable for compact
designs and it is highly inadvisable to arrange capacitors directly
above reactors.

Individual PFC for MotorsApproximate values for fixed PFC of Motors
The capacitor output should be approx. 90% of the apparent power of the motor when idle.
This means a power factor of 0.9% at full load and 0.95 … 0.98 during idling. Important: The capacitor output must not be rated too high for individual compensated machines where the capacitor is directly connected with the motor clamp. This especially applies when the machine has a big oscillating weight and still continues to rotate after switching off. The capacitor placed in parallel may act as generator for the motor which will cause serious overvoltages. The consequence could be heavy damage to the capacitor as well as to the motor.

For an exact calculation of the right capacitor value, following formula can be used:
There are regional differences in the guidelines of power suppliers concerning the admissible size of capacitors directly connected with a transformer. Therefore a consultation with the respective power supplier is recommended before installation of a compensation bank. Modern transformers have laminations which only need low capacity to reverse the magnetism. In case the capacitor output is too high, stress increase may occur during idling.

The specially designed cover with an expansion bead moves

wires and disconnect the capacitor safely from the line. The
disconnector is separated at its break point (small notch) and the
flow of current to the capacitor windings is interrupted.
Caution:
To ensure full functionality of an overpressure disconnector, the

Cautions
1. The elastic elements must not be hindered, i.e.
– connecting lines must be flexible leads (cables),
– there must be sufficient space (at least 20 mm) for expansion
above the connections (specified for the different models),
– folding beads must not be retained by clamps.
2. The maximum permissible fault current of 10 000 A to the UL
810 standard must not be exceeded.
3. Stress parameters of the capacitor must be within the IEC
60831 / IS 13340 specification.

Thumb Rule: The number of steps depends on the number of
loads, i.e. the more small inductive loads, the higher the number
of steps should be. The switching time is also of major importance
here:themorefrequentlyacapacitorisswitched,themorestress
is placed on it and its contactors.
Multi measuring device An external meter combining several
features in a single device. Combined with the appropriate PF
controller, it allows the monitoring, display and storage of various
grid parameters. It provides additional protection for the capacitor
and the PFC system. As a standalone solution, it acts as a meter,
a signal trigger for thyristor modules or as a switch.
Capacitor contactor
Contactors are electromechanical switching elements used to
switch capacitors or reactors and capacitors in standard or
detuned PFC systems. The pre-switching auxiliary contacts of
capacitor contactors close before the main contact and avoid
peak current values by pre-loading the capacitor. Note: Even
when using capacitor contactors, it is important not to exceed the
annual switching capability of the particular capacitor series.
Reactors - (compensation and filtering)
Power distribution networks are increasingly subjected to
harmonic pollution from modern power electronics devices,
known as non -linear loads, e.g. drives, uninter ruptible power
supplies and electronic ballasts. Harmonics are dangerous for
capacitors connected in the PFC circuit, especially if they operate
at a resonant frequency. The series connection of a reactor and
capacitortodetunetheseriesresonantfrequency(thecapacitor’s
resonant frequency) helps to prevent capacitor damage. The most
critical frequencies are the 5th and 7th harmonics (250 and 350
Hz at 50 Hz grid frequency). Detuned capacitor banks also help to
reduce the harmonic distortion level and clean the network.
Discharge devices
Discharge resistors are required to discharge capacitors and
protect human beings against electric shock hazards as well as to
switch capacitors in automatic PFC equipment (opposing phase).
Discharge resistors are designed to discharge capacitors to 50V
or less within 60 seconds.
Caution:
Discharge and short-circuit the capacitor before handling it!
Discharge reactor
Whenever fastdischargeof acapacitor is required, adischarge
resistor is not sufficient. Discharge reactors must be used to allow
a discharge of within a few seconds. Also, the various steps in a
PFC system can then be switched much faster, minimizing losses
at the same time.
Protection
An HRC fuse or MCCB acts as a safety device for short-circuit
protection. HRC fuses do not protect a ca pac - itor against
overload – they are designed for short-circuit protection only. The
HRC fuse rating should be 1.6 to 1.8 times the nominal capacitor
current.
Caution:
Do not use HRC fuses for switching (risk of arcing!).
Dry technology/ V ACuum impregnation
The active winding elements are heated and then dried for a
defined period. Impregnation is performed under V ACuum. In
this way, air and moisture are extracted from the inner capacitor,
and oxidation of the electrodes as well as partial discharges are
avoided. Afterwards, the capacitor elements are hermetically
sealed in cases (e.g. aluminum). This elaborate process ensures
excellent capacitance stability and long useful life.
Power factor controller Modern PF controllers are microprocessor-
based. The microprocessor analyzes the signal from a current
transformer and produces switching commands to control the
contactors that add or remove capacitor stages. Intelligent control
by microprocessorbased PF controllers ensures even utilization
of capacitor stages, a minimized number of switching operations
and an optimized life cycle of the capacitor bank. After the required
capacitor output has been determined, the number of steps

Mean life expectancyThe mean life expectancy of power capacitors is mainly governed bythefollowingfactors:
- duration of overload.
- ambient temperature and the resulting case temperature.
- Maximum rms current and the resulting case temperature
The calculated life expectancy of the various series is stated for nominal operating conditions. If components are stressed less than the IEC 60831 factors, longer useful life can be expected, and a correspondingly shorter one or increased failure rate if nominal parameters are exceeded.
Fuse protectionPower capacitors have to be protected against short circuits by fuses or thermal magnetic overcurrent relays. Slow-blow, low-voltage high rupturing capacity fuses (HRC) are preferable. The fuse rating should be 1.6 to 1.8 times the rated current of the capacitor. Magnetic short circuit relays should be set to between 9 and 12 times rated current to prevent them responding to high inrush currents.
HRC fuses must not be used for switching as it results in electric arcing which can cause death ! It may also cause capacitor failures.
Switching of capacitorsWhenacapacitor isswitched toanACsystem, the result isaresonant circuit damped to a greater or lesser degree. In addition to the rated current, the capacitor accepts a transient current that is a multiple of (up to 200 times), its rated current. Fast switching, low-bounce contactors should be used, and have the switching capacity for capacitive currents stated by the producer. Special capacitor contactor with leading contacts that feature precharging resistors to damp inrush currents are recommended. As per IEC 60831 standard, a maximum of 5,000 switching operations per year is acceptable.
DischargingCapacitorsmustbedischargedtoamaximumof10%ofratedvoltage before they are switched in again. This prevents an electric impulse discharge in the application, influences the capacitor's useful life in PFC systems, and protects against electric shock. The capacitor must be discharged to 50 V or less within 60 sec. There must not be any switch, fuse or any other disconnecting device in the circuit between the power capacitor and the discharging device.
Caution:DISCHARGE CAPACITOR BEFORE HANDLING!
Capacitors in networks with harmonicsHarmonics are produced in the operation of electric loads with a nonlinear voltage/current characteristic (e.g. rectifiers and inverters for drives, welding apparatus and uninterruptible power supplies). Harmonics are sinusoidal voltages and currents with higher frequencies of a multiple of the 50 or 60 Hz line frequency.
In low-voltage three-phase systems the 5th and 7th harmonics are especially troublesome. Detuned filter (capacitor and reactor) should be used for power factor correction in systems subject to harmonics. These represent a series resonant circuit
Cautions of power capacitor and reactor. the circuit is tuned so that the series resonant frequency is below the lowest harmonics appearing in the system. This produces an inductive response to all frequencies above the series resonant frequency, avoiding resonances with system inductances. Depending on the selected series resonant frequency, part of the harmonic current is taken up by the detuned power capacitors. The remainder of the harmonic current flows into the superordinate system. The use of detuned power capacitors thus contributes to reducing voltage distortion through harmonics and lessens the disturbing effect on proper operation of other electric loads.
Most international standards limit THD-V on LV side to 5%However it has to be noted that in many grids these levels are exceeded and even lower distortion, e.g. 3-4% THD-V cangenerate extreme overcurrents in case of resonance condition.
Maximum overcurrents as specified under technical data of each series must not be exceeded.
Resonance must be avoided by appropriate pannel design. Resonance may cause very high overcurrents which can lead to capacitor failures and worst case, to explosion and fire.
ConnectionMake sure connection cables are of flexible type or flexible copper bands are used. This is mandatory to allow the overpressure disconnector work and avoid mechanical stress on the terminals and feedthroughs. The connection cables to the capacitor should be designed for a current of at least 1.5 times the rated current so that no heat is conducted into the capacitor. If reactors are used in an application, the distance between reactor and capacitor must be great enough so that no heat of the reactors, which are operating at a much higher temperature level, is conducted via connection cable to the capacitors.
Avoid bending cable lugs, cables or other mechanical force on the terminals. Otherwise leakages may set the safety device out of operation.
Ensure firm fixing of terminals, fixing torque to be applied as per individual specification.
Maximum specified terminal current (please refer to technical data of specific series) must not be exceeded at any case.
GroundingThe threaded bottom stud of the capacitor has to be used for grounding. In case grounding is done via metal chassis that the capacitor is mounted to, the layer of varnish beneath the washer and nut should be removed.
Storage and operating conditionsDo not use or store capacitors in corrosive atmosphere, especially where chloride gas, sulfide gas, acid, alkali, salt or the like are present. In dusty environments regular maintenance and cleaning especially of the terminals is required to avoid conductive path between phases and / or phases and ground.
Faliure to follow cautions may result, worst case, in premature faliures, bursting and fire.
