Protection Relays NC020 FILTER & CAPACITOR BANK PROTECTION RELAY THE LOW COST SOLUTION FOR HARMONIC FILTERS AND CAPACITOR BANK — Application In recent years the harmonic producing part of total load has increased continuously because of the massive usage of power electronic in all the voltage levels. Thyristor convertors, frequency convertors, thyristor switches and static var compensator, such as thyristor controlled reactors (TCR) and thyristor switched capacitors (TSC), are commonly adopted in industrial applications and power utilities. Filter capacitor banks consist of capacitor bank and series connected air core. Their task is to absorb the harmonic currents generated by loads and all above mentioned power electronic devices. The aim of NC020 is to provide a reliable and cost effective solution for such an application granting capacitor bank safe operations. The capacitor banks may have the following congurations: • Single Wye grounded. • Single Wye ungrounded (with a resistor on the output of the neutral unbalance voltage transformer in order to develop the appropriate input current for the unbalance protection). • Double Wye ungrounded. A suitable compensation method is provided to compensate the inherent unbalance neutral current. Protection 50/51 RMS is based on true RMS value measurement of the three phase currents (fundamental and harmonics up to the 23th). The peak capacitor voltage is achieved for any phase by means of the sum of the fundamental frequency voltage and its harmonics (up to twenty-third order), calculated from the phase currents. Hence it is an innovative key against the dangerous pick voltages for those applications without VTs for the direct measurement of the capacitor voltages.
