The Voltage differential protection VDCPTOV functions can be used in some different
applications.
• Voltage unbalance protection for capacitor banks. The voltage on the bus is supervised
with the voltage in the capacitor bank, phase- by phase. Difference indicates a fault, either
short-circuited or open element in the capacitor bank. It is mainly used on elements with
external fuses but can also be used on elements with internal fuses instead of a current
unbalance protection measuring the current between the neutrals of two half’s of the
capacitor bank. The function requires voltage transformers in all phases of the capacitor
bank. Figure
117 shows some different alternative connections of this function.
