The protection of shunt capacitor banks against internal faults involves several protective devices/ elements in a coordinated scheme. Typically, the protective elements found in a SCB for internal faults are: individual fuses, unbalance protection to provide alarm/ trip and overcurrent elements for bank fault protection.
Typically, an alarm level is computed whereby the relay indicates that some initial capacitor failure has occurred, but the BISHOP et al.: A PRIMER ON CAPACITOR BANK PROTECTION Fig. 11. Per-string impedance unbalance …

Overcurrent protection can be implemented using the ubiquitous in-line fuse with a fuse blow rating at some margin above nominal—for example, 20% higher than the max rated current (the percentage will depend on the type of circuit as well as the typical operational loads expected). The biggest problem with fuses, of course, is that they must be replaced once blown. Time and …
