How does a capacitor unbalance protection work?
The unbalance protection should coordinate with the individual capacitor unit fuses so that the fuses operate to isolate the faulty capacitor unit before the protection trips the whole bank. The alarm level is selected according to the first blown fuse giving an early warning of a potential bank failure.
Do capacitor banks need to be protected against short circuits and earth faults?
In addition to the relay functions described above the capacitor banks needs to be protected against short circuits and earth faults.

What causes a flashover in a capacitor bank?
If the phases of the bank are constructed in distinct separate structures, a flashover within the capacitor bank will begin as a short circuit fault over of a single-series group. Such a fault produces very little phase overcurrent. For this type of fault, fast protection is provided by the unbalance protection.
How does a capacitor discharge a bank?
