Open Rack Shunt Capacitor Bank

Shunt Capacitors are primarily used to improve the power factor in the network. They will also improve the voltage stability and reduce network losses. Improving the power factor also means a higher power transmission capability and increased control of the power flow. The installation of capacitors in a transmission or distribution network is called power factor correction or reactive power compensation.

Benefits

Reduced network losses Increased voltage stability Improved power quality Limitation or reduction of charges for excess reactive power consumption. Increased load possibility on existing transmission lines and transformers

The FRANKEs Open-rack shunt capacitor type GMKPTBB is the most common capacitor bank supplied is available with internally fused, externally fused or fuseless capacitor units. The major advantage with the compact design, small footprint and easy maintenance.

Internally Fused Bank Internally fused banks have internal fuses as the current-limiting action. One fuse is connected in series with each element within the capacitor. They are designed and coordinated to isolate internal faults at the element level and allow continued operation of the remaining elements of that FRANKEs capacitor unit(visit at www.frankegmkp.com). This results in a very small part of the capacitor being disconnected; therefore, the capacitor and the bank remain in service. The designs are customized per customer specifications and generally include racks, capacitors, insulators, switches, unbalance protection scheme, current limitingreactors and more. Advantagesof Internally Fused Banks:

Cost effective Many years of experience Utilizes large kvar size units Few live parts exposed Reduced installation and maintenance time and cost Proven reliability in the field

Externally Fused Bank These open-stack substation banks utilize an external fuse (expulsion or current limiting) as a means of unit protection. The designs are customized per customer specifications and generally include racks, capacitors, insulators, fuses, elevation structures, switches, unbalance protection scheme, current limiting reactors and more. Advantages Externally Fused Bank:

Visual indication of blown fuses Many years of experience Utilizes small kvar size units

Fuseless Bank These open-stack substation banks utilize an unbalance protection scheme as the primary means of protection. As the name implies, there are no internal or external fuses on this design. The "string" configuration provides a very reliable and cost effective design for banks rated 35 kV and above. Advantages Fuseless Bank:

Cost effective Compact size Utilizes large kvar size units Few live parts exposed Reduced installation and maintenance time and cost Proven reliability in the field

Metal Enclosed Capacitor Bank

Metal Enclosed (Harmonic Filter) Banks should be considered when power factor correction is desired in a harmonic environment. The filter bank consists of an enclosure containing power factor correction capacitors connected in series with iron core harmonic compensated reactors. The resonant frequency of the filter equals that of the harmonic to be eliminated from the power system. The capacitors, reactors and auxiliary equipment are installed in the welded galvaneal enclosure and are shipped ready for interconnection. The reactors are typically tuned to the (nominal 5th and 7th ) harmonic to reduce the more severe 5th harmonic current in systems with large amounts of 6 and 12 pulse non-linear loads present. Equipments for filtering other harmonic frequencies are also available. Benefits

Series Capacitor Bank

Series compensation of a network positively affects the voltage and the reactive power balance. When the load current passes t hrough the capacitor, the voltage drop over the capacitor varies in proportion to the current. The voltage drop is capacitive, i.e. it compensates the inductive voltage drop, which also varies with the load current. The result is an automatic stabilizing effect on the voltage in a network. Simultaneously, series capacitors generate reactive power, the power factor in the network is improved, whereby the line current and the line losses are reduced and the load capacity is increased. The generated reactive power varies proportionally to the square of the load current. Thus, the reactive power is automatically regulated. Series capacitors bank are installed in transmission systems mainly in order to increase the power transfer capability and to reduce losses by optimizing load distribution between parallel transmission lines. Series capacitors are also installed in distribution systems. Here, the main reason is to improve the voltage stability of the network. Series capacitors in transmission systems increase power transfer capability and reduce losses. Series capacitors are also installed in distribution systems, mainly to improve the voltage stability.

Features and Benefits

Many years of experience of manufacturing and installation of series capacitors banks.
