Capacitor entry standard requirements

What are the recommendations for the capacitor part?

The recommendations for the capacitor part are given in IEC 60143-1:2004. Specific information about protective equipment can be found in Clause 3 and 10.6. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1994 and constitutes a technical revision.

What is the IEEE 824-1994 standard for capacitors?

This standard represents a significant update to IEEE 824-1994. Series capacitor bank component and bank duty cycle ratings, equipment insulation levels, protective functions, component testing, instruction books, nameplates, and safety are covered in this standard.

How many capacitor banks are there in a high voltage circuit?

There may be more than one Capacitor Bank in a High Voltage circuit (i.e. Bank A, B, C) type registered device for the purpose of discharging a Capacitor Unit which may be Charged. Type Registered lead used for short-circuiting an individual Capacitor Unit.

What is a series capacitor?

A series capacitor is a type of capacitor intended for high-voltage power systems and covered by this standard. The primary focus of the standard is on transmission applications and series capacitor units and banks.

What is a shunt capacitor?

Shunt capacitors for a.c. power systems having a rated voltage above 1 000 V - Part 1: General IEC 60871-1:2014 is applicable to both capacitor units and capacitor banks intended to be used, particularly, for power-factor correction of a.c. power systems having a rated voltage above 1 000 V and frequencies of 15 Hz to 60 Hz.

What is the rated voltage of a capacitor?

The rated voltage of a capacitor is limited to 10 000 V. (The operating frequency of the systems in which these capacitors are used is usually up to 15 kHz, while the pulse frequencies may be up to 5 to 10 times the operating frequency.)
