Unbalance protection is one of the most important protection functions in the high voltage capacitor protection scheme. It can reflect the faulty capacitor element directly. Based on the real projects in Southern Grid
such as Pingguo TCSC
Hechi FSC
Baise FSC
Tianguang HVDC and Guiguang HVDC project
this paper analyzes the related problems of capacitor unbalance protection
such as current transformer connection
type selection and the match problem. The unbalance detection principles are summed up and compared. Problems that should be considered in setting calculation are also described.
