CAPACITOR BANKS

A shunt capacitor bank (or simply capacitor bank) is a set of capacitor units, arranged in parallel/series association within a steel enclosure. Usually fuses are used to protect capacitor units and they may be located inside the capacitor unit, on each element, or outside the unit. Capacitor banks may be star or delta connected.

How Distribution Capacitor Banks Compensate for Inductive Loads

2. The upper (and lower) blue arrows in the two circuits point in opposite directions. This is done to show that, in real time (when they''re in the same circuit together), their actions are exactly opposite one another – so, for example, when the inductor is removing energy from its circuit, the capacitor is returning energy to its circuit and vice versa.
