Capacitor Transient Conditions
In Low Voltage industrial installations, capacitors are mainly used for reactive energy correction (raising the power factor). When these
capacitors are energized, overcurrents of high amplitude and high frequencies (3 to 15 kHz) occur during the transient period (1 to 2 ms).
The amplitude of these current peaks, also known as "inrush current peaks", depends on the following factors:
•
•
•
There are 2 types of power factor correction: fixed or automatic.
Steady State Condition Data
The presence of harmonics and the network's voltage tolerance lead to a current, estimated to be 1.3 times the nominal current I
capacitor, permanently circulating in the circuit.
Taking into account the manufacturing tolerances, the exact power of a capacitor can reach 1.15 times its nominal power.
Standard IEC 831-1 Edition 04/97 specifies that the capacitor must therefore have a maximum thermal current I
Consequences for the Contactors
To avoid malfunctions (welding of main poles, abnormal temperature rise, etc.), contactors for capacitor bank switching must be sized to
withstand:
• A permanent current that can reach 1.5 times the nominal current of the capacitor bank.
• The short but high peak current on pole closing (maximum permissible peak current Î ).
ABB offers 3 contactor versions according to the value of the inrush current peak and the
power of the capacitor bank
A... and AF... standard contactors (A 12... A 300 and AF 400 ... AF 750)
UA... Contactors for capacitor switching (UA 16 ... UA 110)
UA...-R Contactors for capacitor switching (UA 16-R ... UA 75-R) with insertion of damping resistors
ABB LIMITED
Fixed power factor correction consists of inserting, in parallel on
the network, a capacitor bank whose total power is provided by
the assembly of capacitors of identical or different ratings.
The bank is energized by a contactor that simultaneously
supplies all the capacitors (a single step).
The inrush current peak, in the case of fixed correction, can
reach 30 times the nominal current of the capacitor bank.
