and delivery, erection, testing and commissioning of 11 KV outdoor types 3 phase automatically
switched capacitor banks at site along with all necessary equipments in all respect with the civil
work involved in 33/11 KV substations on Turnkey Basis.

1.2 The specification covers 3 phase, 50 Hz, Out door type automatically switched shunt capacitor
bank intended for installation at 11 KV side of 33/ 11 KV power transformers in various sub-
stations. The equipment covered in this specification comprises of Capacitor banks in steps, 0.2 %
Series Reactors, capacitor switch, HT Fuses, RVT, CT, VCB etc. or any other means of protection
to protect the capacitor Banks / Units. (In case three phase MPP type capacitor units are offered,
there is no need of RVT as asymmetry protection is not required with MPP 3 phase capacitors).
1.3 Applicable Standard: Unless otherwise modified in this specification, the capacitor shall comply with
latest version of IS: 13925:1998 or IEC 60871 - 1. The other components such as Vacuum Circuit
Breaker, Isolator, CT, PT, LA, Vacuum Contactors, HT fuses, Series Reactors, Auxiliary equipment
shall comply with the latest version of relevant Indian Standards/ International standards.
1.4 The bidder should submit BOM/BOQ quoting per meter rates of HT XLPE cable separately being
variable length required for each substation.


2.0 APPLICATION:
The basic purpose of Medium Voltage capacitors installed at 11 KV side of 33 KV substations is to
maintain power factor above a desired level. The conventional capacitor bank consist of the Capacitors,
Offload isolators and Load Break Switch or Circuit Breakers for ON/OFF operations. Any sub-station load
on Transformer changes during a 24 Hour daily load cycle. This variation of load depends upon type of
load i.e. Urban Load, Rural load, Agricultural Load, Industrial load etc. The load pattern will be different for
different loads. Thus load variation will follow certain pattern and which could be divided into four or six
periods in a 24 Hour daily load cycle. Power factor would also vary and at the same time actual
requirement of Capacitors in circuit will also vary.

In conventional capacitor banks, there is no arrangement to switch IN/OUT capacitor bank depending
upon varying load vis-a-vis reactive power requirement conditions. ON/OFF operations are purely manual
and only a single bank is manually switched ON or OFF to take care of the total reactive power
requirements of a sub-station. This has the following drawbacks:-

The ON/OFF operation of capacitor bank is depending on one operator and it is difficult to control
on switching ON/OFF the capacitor bank as per varying load condition.
There are only two possible conditions in manually switched banks, complete bank is either fully in
their circuit or out of circuit and reactive power compensation cannot be closely matched with the
varying load condition.
This results in over compensation or under compensation of reactive power at varying load
condition.
If one of the capacitor units from the capacitor bank is failed, whole capacitor bank will become
idle.
Over or under compensation means that the very purpose of installing the capacitor bank is
defeated as over-compensation during low load conditions can nullify any advantages gained
through satisfactory compensation at higher load conditions.
Conventional capacitor bank is rated in such a way that it can be effectively used between 50% to
80% load on the power transformer. At lower loads this capacitor bank has to be switched off and
at higher loads the capacitor bank would fall below the actual requirement of reactive power
compensation.

Modern day loads and its variations call for more effective control of the capacitor banks so that its
utilization is optimal. If capacitor banks are split into steps and are provided with switching arrangements
as required it will help the Electricity Supply Authority to maintain the power factor at desired level through
out the day. The load variation in a sub-station has been observed to change from 15/20 % to 80 %.
When conventional fixed type capacitor banks are used the capacitor bank will provide compensation of
certain level and in an event the bank is not removed from the circuit at low load, it will provide
overcompensation to the system.
Following are some of the advantages to propose the switched capacitor Banks for systems up to 11 KV.


If steps are provided with capacitor banks to switch them as required it will help the Electricity
Supply Authority to maintain the power factor at desired level through out the day.
There is no manual involvement in switching the capacitor banks ON/OFF, thus avoiding any
manual errors.
The proposed switching of capacitor steps is totally automatic, with microprocessor based control.
There will be no instances of over compensation or under compensation of considerable effect.
In conventional fixed type capacitor bank removing required capacitor cells from circuit is
very cumbersome process as the lineman/operator has to switch off Breaker, Isolator, disconnect
the fuse to isolate the capacitor cells and switch ON all the equipments once again. This will again
depend upon availability of trained man power for such purpose.
