Step 2: Selection of the compensation mode
The location of low-voltage capacitors in an installation constitutes the
mode of compensation, which may be central (one location for the entire
installation), by sector (section-by-section), at load level, or some combi-
nation of the latter two. In principle, the ideal compensation is applied at
a point of consumption and at the level required at any moment in time.
Central compensation
The capacitor bank is connected at the head of the installation to
be compensated in order to provide reactive energy for the whole
installation. This configuration is convenient for a stable and continuous
load factor.

Correction Method for determining compensation
guideline
Fixed compensation
This arrangement uses one or more capacitor(s) to provide a constant
level of compensation. Control may be:
• Manual: by circuit-breaker or load-break switch;
• Semi-automatic: by contactor;
• Direct connection to an appliance and switched with it.
Automatic compensation
This kind of compensation provides automatic control and adapts the
quantity of reactive power to the variations of the installation in order to
maintain the targeted cos φ. The equipment is installed at points in
an installation where the active-power and/or reactive-power variations
are relatively large, for example:
• On the busbars of a main distribution switchboard;
• On the terminals of a heavily-loaded feeder cable.
Where the kvar rating of the capacitors is less than or equal to 15%
of the power supply transformer rating, a fixed value of compensation
is appropriate. Above the 15% level, it is advisable to install
an automatically-controlled capacitor bank.
Dynamic compensation
This kind of compensation is required when fluctuating loads are present,
and voltage fluctuations have to be prevented. The principle of dynamic
compensation is to associate a fixed capacitor bank and an electronic
var compensator, providing either leading or lagging reactive currents.
14
Step 4: Allowing for operating conditions and harmonics
Capacitors should be selected depending on the working conditions
expected during their lifetime.
Capacitor selection
Different ranges with different levels of ruggedness are proposed:
• "SDuty": Standard duty capacitors for standard operating conditions,
and when no significant non-linear loads are present.
• "HDuty": Heavy duty capacitors for difficult operating conditions, parti-
cularly voltage disturbances, or when a few non-linear loads are present.
The rated current of capacitors must be increased in order to cope with
the circulation of harmonic currents.
• "Energy": Specially designed capacitors, for harsh operating condi-
tions, particularly high temperature.
• "Harmonic HDuty" or "Harmonic Energy": harmonic rated capacitors
used with detuned reactors. Applicable when a significant number of
non-linear loads are present.

* The maximum life expectancy is given considering standard operating conditions: service voltage (UN),
service current (IN), 35°C ambient temperature.
WARNING: the life expectancy will be reduced if capacitors are used in maximum working conditions.
Since the harmonics are caused by non-linear loads, an indicator for the magnitude of harmonics
is the ratio of the total power of non-linear loads to the power supply transformer rating.
Example:
• Power supply transformer rating: Sn = 630 kVA
• Total power of non-linear loads: Gh = 150 kVA
• NLL = (150/630) x 100 = 24 %

Low Voltage
capacitors VarplusCan Harmonic HDuty
Rated voltage
In a detuned filter application, the voltage across the capacitors is higher
than the network service voltage (US). Then, capacitors must be designed
to withstand higher voltages.
In the following pages, the reactive power (kvar) given in the tables is
the reactive power provided by the combination of capacitors and reactors.

Low Voltage
capacitors VarplusCan Harmonic Energy
Rated voltage
In a detuned filter application, the voltage across the capacitors is higher
than the network service voltage (US). Then, capacitors must be designed
to withstand higher voltages.
In the following pages, the reactive power (kvar) given in the tables is
the reactive power provided by the combination of capacitors and reactors.

Benefits
PE90135
• High performance
- Heavy edge metallization/wave-cut edge to ensure high inrush current
capabilities.
- Special resistivity and profile metallization for better self-healing
& enhanced life.
• Safety
- Its unique safety feature electrically disconnects the capacitors safely
at the end of their useful life.
- The disconnectors are installed on each phase, which makes
the capacitors very safe, in addition to its protective steel enclosure.
• Flexibility
- Special "compact" case with small footprint to be easily mounted and
assembled.
- Availability on power ratings up to 100 kvar with parallel connection.

VarplusBox Energy
Benefits
• High performance
- High life expectancy up to 160,000 hours;
- Very high overload capabilities and good thermal and mechanical
properties;
- Highest operating temperature (up to 70°C).
• Safety
- Its unique safety feature electrically disconnects the capacitors safely
at the end of their useful life;
- The disconnectors are installed on each phase, which makes
the capacitors very safe, in addition to its protective steel enclosure.

Influence of harmonics in electrical
installations
Definition of harmonics
The presence of harmonics in electrical systems means that current and vol-
tage are distorted and deviate from sinusoidal waveforms. Harmonic currents
are currents circulating in the networks and whose frequency is an integer
multiple of the supply frequency. Harmonic currents are caused by non-linear
loads connected to the distribution system. A load is said to be non-linear
Since the harmonics are caused by non-
when the current it draws does not have the same waveform as the supply
linear loads, an indicator for the magnitude
voltage. The flow of harmonic currents through system impedances in turn
of harmonics is the ratio of the total power
creates voltage harmonics, which distort the supply voltage.
of non-linear loads to the power supply
The most common non-linear loads generating harmonic currents use
transformer rating.
power electronics, such as variable speed drives, rectifiers, inverters, etc.
Loads such as saturable reactors, welding equipment, and arc furnaces
This ratio is denoted NLL, and is also known
also generate harmonics. Other loads such as inductors, resistors and
as Gh/Sn:
capacitors are linear loads and do not generate harmonics.
NLL = Total power of non-linear loads (Gh)/
Installed transformer rating (Sn)
Effects of harmonics
Example: Capacitors are particularly sensitive to harmonic currents since their impedance
• Power supply transformer rating: Sn = 630 kVA decreases proportionally to the order of the existing harmonics. This can result
• Total power of non-linear loads: Gh = 150 kVA in capacitor overload, constantly shortening its operating life. In some extreme
• NLL = (150/630) x 100 = 24%. situations, resonance can occur, resulting in an amplification of harmonic
currents and a very high voltage distortion.
To ensure good and proper operation of the electrical installation, the
harmonic level must be taken into account in selecting power factor correction
equipment. A significant parameter is the cumulated power of the non-linear
loads generating harmonic currents.

The capacitor technology has to be selected according to the most restrictive
measurement. Example, a measurement is giving the following results :
- THDi = 15 % Harmonic solution.
- THDu = 3.5 % HDuty / Energy solution.
Harmonic solution has to be selected.

Safety features
(a)
Self-healing is a process by which the capacitor restores itself
(b)
in the event of a fault in the dielectric which can happen during
high overloads, voltage transients etc.
Figure 1 - (a) Metal layer - (b) Polypropylene film When insulation breaks down, a short duration arc is formed (figure 1).
Figure 3
Malfunction will cause rising pressure inside the can. Pressure can only
lead to vertical expansion by bending lid outwards. Connecting wires
break at intended spots. Capacitor is disconnected irreversibly.

Guide for installation and operation".
Power Factor: The power factor is the ratio of the active power
P (kW) to the apparent power S (kVA) for a given circuit.
= P (kW) / S (kVA).
92
Reactive power: Product of the reactive current times the voltage.
Service voltage: Value of the supply network voltage, declared by the Utility.
Usual formulas:
Apparent power: S = Vrms x lrms (kVA).
Active power: P = Vrms x la = Vrms x lrms x cos (kW).
Reactive power: Q = Vrms x lr = Vrms x lrms x sin (kvar).
