AI Customer ServiceIf this value is higher than the capacitor’s rated current at the system voltage (by >5% or so), the presence of harmonic voltage distortion is likely. Conduct a paper audit of the plant’s harmonic-producing loads and system configuration.
Capacitor banks can create harmonic resonance and therefore I wouldn't use them in systems with a presence of harmonics without first undertaking some power quality analysis. These are more for power factor correction and so if they are needed I'd use the results from the system analysis to ensure you detune any PFC you install.
In the presence of harmonics, the total power factor is defined as total power factor = TPF = cos0 = Ptotal Stotal (5-6) where Ptotal and Stota1 are defined in Eq. 5-4. Since capacitors only provide reactive power at the funda- mental frequency, they cannot correct the power factor in the presence of harmonics.
Capacitor or frequency scanning is usually the first step in harmonic analysis for studying the impact of capacitors on system response at fundamental and harmonic frequencies. Problems with harmonics often show up at capacitor banks first, resulting in fuse blowing and/or capacitor failure.
Capacitor Bank Behaves as a Harmonic Source. There are many capacitor banks installed in indus- trial and overhead distribution systems. Each capaci- tor bank is a source of harmonic currents of order h, which is determined by the system short-circuit impedance (at the capacitor location) and the capac- itor size.
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.
