New method of capacitors failure detection and location in shunt
The susceptibility is much less for banks that are grounded via a low voltage capacitor because the measured neutral point voltage is across the grounding capacitor, and thus in normal operating conditions (no system faults) it is much greater than the normally close to zero ground current/neutral voltage of the two other configurations.

Impact of shunt capacitor banks on substation surge environment
The introduction of high voltage shunt capacitor banks on a power system can result in a number of overvoltage problems that tend to be associated with capacitor switching. The paper describes how proper application of surge arresters near a shunt capacitor bank requires careful analysis of the power system, the switching devices and their arrangements, the insulation level of nearby

View more6 FAQs about [Impact of neutral point grounding of capacitor bank]
What are the effects of grounded capacitor banks?
Grounded capacitor banks can interfere with a facilities ground fault protection system and cause the entire facility to lose power (main breaker trip). Harmonic currents in the ground path can cause harmonic interference with control and communication systems. Capacitor discharge currents may damage nearby surge arresters.
Why are shunt capacitor banks grounded?
Most of these shunt capacitor banks are ungrounded except for the 315kV level where all banks are grounded to reduce the insulation level of the shunt capacitor bank neutral and also to reduce the recovery voltage (RV) constraint on the circuit breaker of the shunt capacitor bank when opening.
What happens if a capacitor bank is balanced?
If the capacitor bank is balanced and the system voltage is balance the neutral voltage will be zero. A change in any phase of the bank will result in a neutral or zero sequence voltage. Fig. 1 (a) shows a method that measures the voltage between capacitor neutral and ground using a VT and an overvoltage relay with 3th harmonic filter.
Why are 315kv shunt capacitor banks grounded?
F. Insulation level of the shunt capacitor bank neutral As mentioned in the introduction, one of the reason why the 315kV level shunt capacitor banks are grounded was to reduce the cost associated to the insulation level of the neutral of the SCB.
What happens if a shunt capacitor bank changes phase?
A variation in any phase of the shunt capacitor bank will lead to neutral or zero sequence voltage. A system that evaluates the voltage between the capacitor neutral and ground using a VT and an overvoltage relay with a third harmonic filter is displayed in Figure 8(a).
What is the difference between a grounded Bank and a neutral current?
The neutral current is one-half of that of a single grounded bank of the same size. However, the current transformer ratio and relay rating may be selected for the desired sensitivity because they are not subjected to switching surge currents or single-phase currents as they are in the grounded neutral scheme.
