to capacitor manufacturing tolerances. The natural unbalance current must be
compensated for before using the measured unbalance current for the function
operation. The natural unbalance current needs to be recorded when there is no
fault in the capacitor banks, and it is initiated through the command
Record
unbalance
, available under menu path Control> CUBPTOC. By selecting
Record
unbalance
with value “Record”, the measured unbalance current
is considered
as the natural unbalance current
and is stored as a reference. The amplitude
and angle of the recorded natural unbalance current I_AMPL_NAT and I_ANGL_NAT
are available in the monitored data view.
Once the natural unbalance current is recorded during further executions of the
function, the natural unbalance current is subtracted from the measured unbalance
current
to obtain the compensated unbalance current
as shown in
Figure 630
.
Figure 630: Natural unbalance compensation. (a) Healthy condition when the natural
unbalance is recorded (b) Unbalance compensation during faulty conditions
The natural unbalance current compensation is enabled using the setting
Natural
Comp Enable
. If
Natural Comp Enable
is set to “FALSE”, the unbalance current is not
compensated. If
Natural Comp Enable
is set to “TRUE”, the compensated unbalance
current is calculated based on the equation.

The amplitude I_AMPL_COMP and the angle I_ANGL_COMP of the compensated
unbalance current
are available in the monitored data view.
