The substation and distribution capacitor banks should be inspected and electrical measurements be made periodically. The frequency of the inspection should be determined by local conditions such as environmental factors and type of controller used to switch the capacitors on and off. 7. Visual Inspections
For compensating reactive power, shunt capacitors are often installed in electrical distribution networks. Consequently, in such systems, power loss reduces, voltage profile improves and feeder capacity releases. However, finding optimal size and location of capacitors in distribution networks is a complex combinatorial optimisation problem.
Standard safety practices should be followed during installation, inspection, and maintenance of capacitors. Additionally, there are procedures that are unique to capacitor banks that must be followed to protect field operators and equipment in accordance with the NESC – National Electrical Safety Code.
Shunt capacitor banks are widely utilised in distribution networks to reduce power loss, improve voltage profile, release feeder capacity, compensate reactive power and correct power factor. In order to acquire maximum benefits, capacitor placement should be optimally done in electrical distribution networks.
Capacitor banks generally require very little maintenance because they are static type of equipment, but don’t be fooled by this statement. Capacitors are well known for their dangerous reaction when something goes wrong. Standard safety practices should be followed during installation, inspection, and maintenance of capacitors.
Conclusion: Proper inspection and maintenance of capacitor banks are essential to ensure their safe and efficient operation. Adhering to industry standards and best practices, along with periodic inspections and measurements, helps identify potential issues early on, reducing the risk of accidents and maximizing the bank's lifespan.
