28、, etc., completely assembled under the responsibility of the manufacturer with all the internal electrical and mechanical interconnections and structural parts Page4 EN61921:2003NOTE 1 Throughout this standard, the abbreviations “automatic bank” and “assembly” are used for a low-voltage a.c capacito

29、rs automatic or non-automatic bank. NOTE 2 The components of switchgear and controlgear of the automatic bank may be electromechanical or electronic. 3.2 step of capacitor bank step combination of one or more capacitor units switched together 3.3 automatic reactive power regulator controller circuit

30、 designed to calculate the reactive power absorbed by the load connected to the power line and to control the switching on and off of the steps of the automatic bank, in order to compensate for the reactive power NOTE 1 The reactive power is normally calculated at the fundamental frequency. NOTE 2 T

31、he controller may be “built-in” or “free-standing” and has usually to be adjusted for each bank before operation. 3.4 transient inrush current I ttransient overcurrent of high amplitude and frequency that may occur when a capacitor is switched on, the amplitude and frequency being determined by fact

33、the bank including reactors, if any 4 Marking of a capacitor bank The following minimum information shall be given by the manufacturer in an instruction sheet or alternatively, on request of the purchaser, on a rating plate to be fixed on the assembly. 1) Manufacturers name or trademark. 2) Identifi

34、cation number or type designation. 3) Date of manufacture, in clear or code form. 4) Rated reactive power, Q Nin kilovars (kvar). 5) Rated voltage, U Nin volts (V). 6) Rated frequency, f Nin hertz (Hz). 7) Minimum and maximum ambient temperatures in degrees Celsius (C). 8) Degree of protection. 9) S

35、hort-circuit withstand strength, in amperes (A). Page5 EN61921:20035 Guide for design, installation, operation and safety 5.1 General Unlike most electrical apparatus, shunt capacitors, whenever energized, operate continuously at full load, or at loads that deviate from this value only as a result o

36、f voltage and frequency variations. Overstressing and overheating shorten the life of a capacitor, and therefore the operating conditions (that is temperature, voltage and current) should be strictly controlled. It should be noted that the introduction of a capacitance in a system might produce unsa

37、tisfactory operating conditions (for example amplification of harmonics, self-excitation of machines, overvoltage due to switching, unsatisfactory working of audio-frequency remote- control apparatus, etc.). Because of the different types of capacitors and the many factors involved, it is not possib

38、le to cover, by simple rules, installation and operation in all possible cases. The following information is given with regard to the more important points to be considered. In addition, the instructions of the manufacturer and the power supply authorities shall be followed. 5.2 Choice of components

39、 The choice of components of an assembly shall be carried out with careful reference to compliance between their ambient air temperature category and that of the assembly itself. 5.3 Design 5.3.1 Power factor correction system enclosed within a main switchboard The equipment needed for the automatic

40、 correction of power factor in an installation, including controller, fuses, switching devices, capacitors and reactors (chokes), can be installed as an integral part of the main switchboard. This equipment can be also installed in a separate shell of the main board or simply as an added part in the

41、 common main switchboard shell. 5.3.2 Free standing power factor correction system The equipment is free standing and usually installed adjacent or close to the main switchboard or relevant sub-board. It generally has a main bus bar arrangement of the required fault level to match the adjacent main

42、switchboard or sub-board or the required fault current of that section of the installation. This bus bar section is bus barred or cabled back to the main supply of the installation. Feeding off this bus bar section is a group of fuses, circuit-breakers or fused switch which are wired to a switching

43、device and then to the capacitor banks. 5.3.3 Automatic power factor correction system with remote mounted capacitors All components except for the capacitors are mounted in the control cubicle. Page6 EN61921:2003The capacitors and the required reactors, if any, are mounted on a remote mounting rack

44、. This arrangement is generally used if there is a problem with space requirements or to allow further dissipation of heat. It is important to note that power factor component equipment such as fuses, capacitors, reactors, etc. generate a significant amount of heat. 5.3.4 Compartmentalization The ge

45、neral arrangement of a power factor correction assembly can be made in sections, which can be arranged in separate compartments or in a single configuration: a) bus bar, main connection and/or main isolation; b) capacitor bank fuses or circuit-breakers and/or contactors; c) reactors for harmonic con

46、trol purposes; d) capacitors; e) control fuses, terminals and controller. 5.3.5 Choice of rated voltage The rated voltage of the capacitor shall be at least equal to the service voltage of the network to which the capacitor is to be connected, account being taken of the influence of the presence of

47、the capacitor itself. In certain networks, a considerable difference may exist between the service and rated voltage of the network, details of which should be furnished by the purchaser, so that due allowance can be made by the manufacturer. This is of importance for capacitor banks, since their pe

48、rformance and life may be adversely affected by an undue increase of the voltage across the capacitor dielectric. If no information to the contrary is available, the service voltage shall be assumed as equal to the rated (or declared) voltage of the network. Where circuit elements are inserted in se

49、ries with the capacitor to reduce the effects of harmonics, etc., the resultant increase in voltage at the capacitor terminals over and above the service voltage of the network necessitates a corresponding increase in the rated voltage of the capacitor. When determining the voltage to be expected on the capacitor terminals, the following considerations shall be taken into account: a) Shunt-connected capacitors may cause a voltage rise from the sour
