6 FAQs about [Consequences of capacitor phase loss operation]

What happens if a capacitor controller fails?

Capacitor failures can cause other equipment to fail (including equipment on other circuits!). Voltage transients affect all customers on the bus. In this case, the failing capacitor controller caused the failure of three separate capacitor banks, including one on an adjacent feeder. This is not an isolated incident.

What is a capacitor failure?

Capacitors are common on distribution systems and fail relatively often. Capacitor failures can cause other devices on the same circuit or other circuits to fail. Capacitor failures demonstrate important lessons for design of waveform analytics systems. Capacitor switching is generally controlled based on time of day, temperature, and / or voltage.

What is the primary failure mechanism of electrolytic capacitors?

The primary failure mechanism of electrolytic capacitors is due to the thermal stress . In the literature, equivalent series resis-tance (ESR), capacitance C, ripple voltage, volume, and temperature are the proposed lifetime indicators for capacitor monitoring.

Why are capacitor failures important in waveform analytics?

Capacitor failures demonstrate important lessons for design of waveform analytics systems. Capacitor switching is generally controlled based on time of day, temperature, and / or voltage. Line capacitors typically switch ON and OFF one, or perhaps two times per day.

What happens if a capacitor switch fails?

The other two phases continued switching “normally,” resulting in dozens of unbalanced capacitor switching operations each day. After two months and thousands of switching operations, the switch on one of the two remaining phases degraded to the point where it failed to make a good connection, resulting in inter-contact arcing.

What happens if a capacitor bank fails?

After several weeks of excessive switching, one phase of the capacitor bank failed in a short- circuit, resulting in a fuse operation. The other two phases continued switching “normally,” resulting in dozens of unbalanced capacitor switching operations each day.
