1.0 SCOPE OF SPECIFICATION
1.1 Introduction
1.1.1 This specification defines the minimum requirements for design, construction, inspection and testing of
Power Line Capacitors for use on Medium Voltage (MV) Systems. The Scope of Supply includes the
capacitors, all ancillaries and interconnecting cables to form a complete system together with all specialised
tools and test equipment required to install, commission and maintain the system. The Vendor/Contractor
shall also include for installation supervision and commissioning in accordance with the terms of the
Purchase Order/Contract.
Capacitors may be either shunt (parallel) connected or series connected. There is no difference in the type
of capacitor, and the different description relates to the type of connection relative to the load.
1.1.2 The specification applies to equipment for refineries, onshore oil and gas installations and processing
facilities, including items purchased either directly or as part of a package.
1.1.3 The capacitors perform different functions since the shunt capacitance is fundamentally for power factor
improvement and the series capacitor acts as an effective voltage regulator by causing a voltage rise in the
system. For example, the inherent capacitance of a long power line can cause a rise in voltage, also known
as the Ferranti Effect.
1.1.4 Capacitors, usually have a low internal inductance and having a higher withstand test voltage than normal,
are also utilised for rotating machine surge protection. They reduce the steepness of the travelling wave
front of lightning surges (subsequent to a system lightning strike) or switching surges.
1.1.5 This specification excludes any reference to the type of connections and the purpose for which the
capacitors are used and only describes the requirements for the capacitors and associated equipment.
1.1.6 This specification is generally based on ANSI/NEMA standards. The Vendor/Contractor shall comply
fully with the provisions laid down in this specification. Any exception must be clearly stated and be
authorised in writing by the Owner as failure to do so shall indicate full compliance; any remedial work
then necessary, shall be at the Vendor/Contractor's expense.
1.1.7 In the event of any conflict between this specification and the Data Sheets, or with any of the applicable
codes and standards, the Vendor/Contractor shall inform the Owner in writing and receive written
clarification from the Owner before proceeding with the work.
1.1.8 This general specification will form part of the Purchase Order/Contract, together with any Data Sheets,
drawings or other attachments.

failure, to avoid capacitor rupture. This shall include fault current contributions from all effectively
paralleled units, and shall also take into consideration possible excessive loading due to harmonic voltages,
over voltages and capacitor unit reactive power tolerance. Fuses shall be capable of continuously carrying
typically 125% for grounded or 135% for un-grounded bank (approximately) of rated capacitor current to
ensure that normal inrush currents during capacitor energisation do not operate fuses.
3.9.2 Where Data Sheets indicate expulsion-type fuses, it shall be Vendor/Contractor's responsibility to ensure
protection of capacitor unit can be provided without exceeding fuse capabilities, based on power supply
and capacitor bank(s) configurations, including discharge or transient currents from near-by capacitors

inappropriate, or where current limiting type is indicated in the Data Sheets, current limiting fuses shall be
properly selected by the Vendor/Contractor.

absence of updated standards related to vacuum capacitor switches, in order to have minimum requirements
for ratings and tests.

including maximum inrush/discharge currents which may involve contributions from any adjacent
capacitor installations. Switch shall also withstand short-time fault currents which may occur on load-side
(including contributions from any adjacent capacitor banks) and on line-side (including discharge from its
own capacitor bank). Where the Vendor/Contractor determines that switching and/or momentary duties
exceed switch capabilities, the Vendor/Contractor shall provide current limiting reactors and/or pre-
insertion resistors.
Rev 0 1999
3.10.6 The Vendor/Contractor shall select capacitor switch for frequent switching, rated for system maximum
voltage and required Basic Impulse Level (B.I.L. - full wave) indicated in the Data Sheets.

least 15,000 operations.

4.4.3 In the event that the Vendor/Contractor prefers to ground control circuit supplies separately from the
general grounding arrangements, a second bar may be included. The control earth bar should also be fitted
with duplicate grounding terminals so that it may be connected to the plant grounding systems separately
from the main ground.
4.5 Warning Plates
4.5.1 Warning nameplates shall have black characters on a yellow background.
4.5.2 Warning plates shall be provided on each compartment door in which an external voltage source is

revision number.
(c) All components, indicator, and switches etc., shall be clearly identified and labelled in an
unambiguous manner.
All identification labels shall be WBW traffolyte, screwed labels; self adhesive labels are not
acceptable.
5.0 NEMA/IEC DIFFERENCES
5.1 General
The specification is primarily written for equipment manufactured in accordance with the American
(NEMA) standards.
If it is necessary or advantageous to purchase equipment in accordance with International (IEC) Standards,

the specification can still be utilised but the salient differences occurring should be noted as detailed below.
5.2 Salient Differences
This section does not attempt to list every difference between American (NEMA) standards and IEC
standards, but covers only those salient differences that could affect the final installation if not properly
addressed during the design phase.
5.2.1 Units - SI Units
The NEMA Standards in many cases utilise imperial units (feet, pounds, degrees fahrenheit, etc), whilst the
IEC Standards utilise SI units (metres, grammes, degrees celsius etc).
Note:
For electrical equipment, the (American) Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) have
recommended that the use of the imperial (British-American) units in use be reduced as rapidly as possible
in favour of the SI units, with certain implementations such as the use of horsepower being phased out first.
5.2.2 Cable Conductor Cross Sectional Area (CSA)
IEC cable CSA's are always in metric dimensions (mm2). American conductor sizes are often American
Wire Gauge (AWG) for the smaller sizes and circular mils (c.mil) for larger sizes. However because
circular mil is a term universally used in the USA and based on the mil (one thousandth of an inch), this
specification refers solely to c.mil and not to AWG.
5.2.3 American practice is to use terms Grounding/Ground instead of the European terminology which uses the
terms Earthing/Earth.
6.0 INSPECTION
Rev 0 1999
6.1 Procedures
(a) The Vendor/Contractor shall allow the Inspector free access to all areas of manufacture,
fabrication, assembly and testing.
(b) The Vendor/Contractor always has the responsibility to provide adequate quality control and

Inspector shall not relieve the Vendor/Contractor of these responsibilities or those under his
guarantees.
(c) Any defects noticed in the course of fabrication shall be brought to the attention of the Inspector
who shall decide if the faulty material or workmanship should be repaired or rejected.
(d) If inspection is waived, the required data shall be forwarded to the Owner. If submission of data is
not requested, all data shall be retained by the Vendor/Contractor for issue to the Owner on
demand, for at least five years.
(e) The Vendor/Contractor shall provide a safe working environment for the Inspector and alert the
Inspector of potential hazards.
6.2 Scope
6.2.1 The inspection requirements are covered by the document "General Conditions of Purchase" which forms
part of the Purchase Order/Contract. Additional requirements are given below:
6.2.2 The Inspector shall inspect the equipment to ensure that it complies with the requirements of this
specification and Data Sheets, drawings or other attachments to the material requisition, and the latest
revision of the Vendor/Contractor's documentation and data relating to the specific material requisition.
6.2.3 All shopwork and testing of the equipment shall be carried out to the complete satisfaction of the Owner
but his approval shall not relieve the Vendor/Contractor of the responsibility for the guarantees covered in
In particular, at least the following shall be checked:
