Overcurrent protection involves the use of relays to detect excessive current flow through the capacitor bank. This prevents damage to the capacitors and other components in. This overcurrent relay detects an asymmetry in the capacitor bank caused by blown internal fuses, short-circuits across bushings, or between capacitor units and the racks in which they are mounted. Each capacitor unit consist of a number of elements protected by internal fuses. Faulty elements in a. Capacitors Protection Relays are dedicated relays which are designed to provide a range of protection functions for capacitors. Capacitors are widely used in power systems for VAr regulation and PF control. Relays of various designs are.
