Neutral Voltage Unbalance Protection System
Grounded banks may cause ground fault relay operation when unbalanced due to a blown capacitor fuse(s), capacitor tolerances, and/or system voltage unbalances. Grounded banks have high discharge currents during system ground faults. These discharge currents can cause nuisance fuse operation and surge arrester damage.

Does grounding a capacitor cause a discharge?
Grounding either pin of a capacitor to frame ground does not necessarily cause a discharge. In fact, it may apply power to some circuit that does not expect it, potentially damaging it.
Can a capacitor be grounded?
In most cases, one side of a capacitor is grounded. However, it is not true that this is the case in all designs. The only guaranteed safe way to discharge a capacitor is through a suitable resistor across its terminals.
How do you ground a pad-mounted capacitor bank?
Each pad-mounted capacitor bank is supplied with a two-hole NEMA pad for grounding. Connect a suitable size conductor from the two-hole NEMA pad to the ground as indicated on assembly drawings.

Can a capacitor be discharged using a resistor?
It is favorable to discharge a capacitor through a resistor to prevent damage from high discharge currents, which can reduce the capacitor's lifespan. (You can check with a multimeter.)
How many overvoltages can a capacitor bank operate at?
There is no limit to the number of overvoltages during the life of the capacitor unit in a Metal-enclosed, pad-mounted capacitor bank. Other important considerations include: 1 Multiplying factors apply to rms rated voltage. Crest voltage must not exceed rms by more than √2. 2 The bank may be operated at voltages which are less than the capacitor voltage ratings.
