APCQ CAPACITOR BANKS
© 2022 Hitachi Energy. All rights reserved
CT specification:
– 1 or 5A secondary current rating,
– 15 VA burden for up to 30 meters with 2.5 mm² cable. For longer cables lengths refer to Figure 25 here below. In
case of the CT is shared with other loads, the VA burden shall be adapted accordingly,
– Class 1 resolution or better,
– Primary side current rating should be sufficient to monitor the total line current (including transient phenomena
such as drive/motor starts).
The APCQ capacitor bank is provided with HITACHI ENERGY RVC/RVT controller with automatic adaptation to net-
work phase-rotation.
X4 = (L x R x 25) + 10
X4 = ….. VA
Maximum rms current of the
downstream loads (including starting
current of DC drives):
X1 = ….. Arms
Determine the length (m) and
resistance (Ω/m) of
CT cables (meters)
L = ….. M
R = ….. Ω/m
Select the CT such that:
• rating at primary ≥ X2
• rating at secondary : 5A
• burden ≥ 15VA
• class 1 accuracy or better
Multiply X1 by
1.6:
X2 = ….. Arms

X3 = (L x 0.007 x 26) + 10
X3 = ….. VA
Select the CT such that:
• rating at primary ≥ X2
• rating at secondary : 5A
• burden ≥ X3 VA
• class 1 accuracy or better
Select the CT such that:
• rating at primary ≥ X2
• rating at secondary : 5A
• burden ≥ X4 VA
• class 1 accuracy or better
