• Phase series reactors are required to reduce voltage
appearing on the CT secondary due to the effect of
high frequency, high amplitude currents.
When a capacitor bank becomes too large, making the
parallel energy of a series group too great (above 4650
kVAr) for the capacitor units or fuses, the bank may be
split into two wye sections.

This paper covers the designing of capacitor banks
considering overvoltage as per IS and also due to series
reactor. The discussion continues with the example of
Process Industry.
DESIGNING OF 498kVAR × 7.2 kV CAPACITOR BANK
(Consideration of over-voltage as per IS 13925 (part I)
Fig. 4 Ungrounded wye shunt capacitor banks 1998)
√ √ √
Now it is clear that 498 kVAr at 7.2 KV (418 kVAr at √
6.6 KV) is required to improve power factor from 0.83 to
0.96. √
