The protective scheme shall be by a two step relay one step current arranged as follows: If the failure of one or more units causes an over-voltage of less than 10% tolerable on the other remaining healthy units, then the unbalance current shall cause in the first step to sound an alarm. But if more than the above number of units fail causing a voltage rise of more than 10% then the unbalance current shall cause to trip and isolate the capacitor bank instantaneously.

The individual capacity rating shall be as per IS:13925 Part-I. All parallel units in one series group shall preferably be arranged in different tiers, that is, one series group shall be duly insulated from one another by post insulators adequate to withstand the voltage that may be impressed and shall be sufficient to withstand even in case of total failure be duly insulated from the earth potential by supporting post insulators. Although the tolerances in the output rating of each individual units shall be as per IS:13925. Yet it shall be ensured that in a completely assembled bank, the departures from the nominal rating and within the specified tolerances values shall not cause nuisance alarm or tripping since such alarm or tripping shall be to meet only with the protective requirements specified. The tolerance in the output ratings shall not cause departures in the line currents by that value specified in IS: 13925. Besides it shall also be ensured that these unsymmetrical current shall not cause unsymmetrical voltage rise, whether for a short period or during prolonged operation. Individual units shall be designed to meet with the requirements of the permissible overloads as specified as per IS: 13925. Each unit shall also be provided with internal discharging devices complying with the requirements of IS. The voltage rating of the NCT shall be decided by the Contractor by taking into consideration the voltage impressed on the NCT due to: a) Failure of one or more parallel units in a series bank. b) Voltage impressed on the NCT when all the parallel units in one series bank fail simultaneously. The bidders shall furnish along with the bid design calculations for the same.
