Shunt capacitors for a.c. power systems having a
rated voltage above 1000 V - Part 4: Internal fuses
1 Scope
This Part of GB/T 11024 specifies the requirements for power capacitor testing
and provides guidelines for fuse protection.
This Part applies to internal fuses (referred to as fuses) that disconnect the
faulty capacitor component, so as to allow the remainder of the capacitor unit
and the capacitor bank to which the capacitor unit is connected to continue to
operate. Such fuses are not intended as replacements for switching devices
such as circuit breakers or as replacements for external protection of capacitor
banks or any portion thereof.

GB/T 11024.1-2019, Shunt capacitors for a.c. power systems having a rated
voltage above 1000V. Part 1: General (IEC 60871-1:2014,MOD)
3 Terms and definitions
Terms and definitions determined by GB/T 11024.1-2019 and the following ones
are applicable to this document.
3.1 Rated voltage of a capacitor element
UNe
The root-mean-square value of the AC voltage that is specified when designing
capacitor components.
4 Performance requirements
4.1 Overview
short-term instantaneous overvoltage that the capacitor typically experiences
during its life.
During the life of the capacitor, the fuse shall be able to continuously withstand
a current equal to or greater than the maximum allowable current of the unit
divided by the current of number of parallel fuses.
The fuse shall be able to withstand the inrush currents that may occur during
the life of the capacitor due to the switching operation.
The fuse that is attached to the undamaged component shall be able to
withstand the discharge current due to component breakdown.
The fuse shall be able to withstand the current that is caused by a short-circuit
fault on the outside of the capacitor bank at a peak voltage of 2.5 UN (2.2 UN for
AC filter capacitors).
5 Test
5.1 Routine test
5.1.1 Overview
The fuse shall be able to withstand all routine tests of the capacitor unit in
accordance with the provisions of GB/T 11024.1-2019.
5.1.2 Discharge test of internal fuse
Capacitors that have internal fuses shall be capable of withstanding a short-
circuit discharge test; pass a 1.7 UN DC voltage through a gap that closes to
the capacitor as far as possible and does not contain any applied impedance
for a test.
The capacitance shall be measured before and after the discharge test. The
difference between the two measured values shall be less than the amount of
change that is caused by the internal fuse failures.
The discharge test can be performed before or after the voltage test between
the terminals (see Chapter 9 of GB/T 11024.1-2019). However, if it is performed
after the voltage test between the terminals, the capacitance shall be measured
at the rated voltage, so as to check if the fuse is operating.
If the purchaser agrees to accept a capacitor with fuse failures, the voltage test
between the terminals (see Chapter 9 of GB/T 11024.1-2019) shall be
performed after the discharge test.
If the test is performed with AC, it is not necessary to use the peak voltage to
trigger component damage for the test at the lower limit voltage.
Some test methods are given in Appendix A.
5.3.2 Capacitance measurement
The capacitance shall be measured after the test, so as to prove that the fuse
has been disconnected. The used measurement method shall be sufficiently
sensitive to detect changes in capacitance that is caused by the disconnection
of a fuse.
5.3.3 Inspection of the unit
The casing shall be free of significant deformation before opening.
The casing shall be inspected after opening, so as to ensure that:
a) the intact fuse is not significantly deformed;
b) no more fuse damage than more than one (or one tenth of the directly
connected components with fuses) (see Note to A.1 in Appendix A). If
method b) in Appendix A is used, an additional fuse that is connected to
the intact component (or one-tenth of the directly connected components
with fuses) is allowed to be damaged at the upper limit voltage.
Note: A small amount of blackening impregnating agent does not affect the
quality of the capacitor.
It shall be noted that dangerous residual charges may be present on
components that are broken due to fuse action or due to damage to their
connecting wires. All components shall be carefully discharged.
5.3.4 Voltage test after the casing is opened
The voltage test shall be performed by applying a DC voltage of 3.5 × UNe (UNe
is the component voltage) between the breakdown component and the fuse gap
after fusing, for 10 s. Components and fuses shall not be removed from the test
unit. During the test, the gap shall be in the impregnating agent; no breakdown
is allowed between the fuse gap or any part of the fuse and the rest of the unit.
Note: For units, of which all components are connected in parallel, and for all
units that use the methods b), c), d) or e) in Appendix A for testing, this
test may be replaced by an AC test before the unit is opened. The test
voltage between the terminals is calculated as the capacitance ratio,
such that the voltage between the breakdown component and its blown
fuse gap is 3.5 × UNe/2.
Appendix A 
(Normative) 
Internal fuse isolation test method
A.1 Overview
It shall use one of the test methods a), b), c), d), e) or other methods.
The voltage and current of the capacitor shall be recorded during the test, so
as to verify that the fuse has been disconnected.
In order to verify the current limiting performance of the fuse at the upper limit
voltage test, the voltage drop across the fuse after fusing, except for the
transition process, shall not exceed 30% of the upper limit voltage.
If the voltage drop exceeds 30%, measures shall be taken, such that the parallel
stored energy and power frequency fault currents that are obtained from the
test system are comparable to the operating conditions. Then, perform tests
under these conditions to verify whether the fuse action is satisfactory.
In doing this test, measures should be taken to prevent the capacitor unit from
exploding and the nail from explosive ejecting.
Note: an additional fuse that is connected to the intact component (or one-tenth
of the directly connected components with fuses) is allowed to be
damaged at the upper limit voltage.
