DanDel - thanks for your input. Hopefully the following diagram will clarify my concern. The diagram shows part of a 33kV distribution network where two 132/33kV transformers 60km apart are electrically interconnected via a 33kV circuit. The 33kV circuit provides supplies to 11kV and Low...
High voltage capacitors are installed both on the customer and the utility side of the meter and switched in and out of service by an adequately designed and rated breaker.
The point of my original post is that it is unlikely that the adjacent circuit breakers in the customer or utility...
Thanks.
DanDel - The circuit breakers in question are those associated with the 33kV circuits which connect to both load nodes and capacitor bank nodes.
busbar - You are correct in assuming that the capacitors would normally be disconnected when the network is lightly loaded. However during...
I am a planning engineer for a UK distribution utility.
We have been considering the installation of about 6 capacitor banks on a weak part of our 33kV system to provide a voltage boost of a few percent across a wide area.
Each capacitor bank would be switched in and out of service using an...
