6 FAQs about [Capacitor inrush current and harmonic amplification]

How to limit the inrush current of a capacitor?

In order to limit the inrush current of capacitor, a reactance rate can be selected from 0.1 to 1 %. Because of the reactance rate is high, the capacitor insulation requirements are also higher, and the effective capacity of capacitor will decrease, so the low reactance rate is selected to suppress the inrush current.

Why do capacitors have high inrush currents?

Especially the switching of capacitors in parallel to others of the bank, already energized, causes extremely high inrush currents of up to 200 times the rated current, and is limited only by the ohmic resistance of the capacitor itself.

What is a typical inrush current?

Result: Typical inrush currents are 10 – 40 times the rated current for single capacitors during connection. The inrush current is approximately 210 times the rated current. Result: Typical inrush currents are 100 – 250 times rated current for single capacitors in parallel connection to other capacitors in operation. 4.

What is a parallel capacitor inductor?

The installation of an inductor into parallel capacitors can be used to suppress the capacitors’ switching inrush current and can also play a function to suppress the harmonics of a specific frequency.

Can a parallel capacitor enlarge a harmonic source?

When there are harmonic sources in a system, a parallel capacitor will enlarge the harmonics, producing harmonic resonance. Since it is an effective strategy to install a suitable reactance rate of reactor into the capacitor to restrain the harmonics, further analysis is necessary on the choice of reactance rate.

What happens if a capacitor is a harmonic source?

If any harmonic source generates currents near this resonant frequency, they will flow through the low-impedance path, causing interfer- ence in communication circuits along the resonant path, as well as excessive voltage distortion at the capacitor. Capacitor Bank Behaves as a Harmonic Source.
