NOTES

1. EACH BANK IS TO HAVE ALL NEUTRALS,ARRESTORS

& CAPACITOR RACK CONNECTED TO THE POLE GROUND.

2. CAPACITOR NEUTRAL CONNECTION MUST

BE GROUNDED.

3. GROUND CONTROL BOX TO POLE

GROUND (SEE GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS ON PAGE 1230).

4. SECONDARY POWER FOR THE

CONTROL MUST ORIGINATE FROM
THE SAME CIRCUIT TO WHICH THE
CAPACITOR IS CONNECTED (
i.e.
NO SWITCHES BETWEEN TRANSFORMER
AND CAPACITOR BANK).

TEST ALL CAPACITOR BANKS AFTER REPLACING FAILED TANKS

1. DE-ENERGIZE CAPACITOR BANK WITH AUTOMATIC CONTROL OR BY OPERATING

LINK BREAK CUTOUTS.

2. DISCONNECT PRIMARY STINGERS AND WAIT 5 MINUTES FOR CAPACITOR TO DISCHARGE.

3. USING HOT STICK AND TEMPORARY JUMPERS, SHORT ACROSS AND GROUND EACH OF
THE THREE GROUPS OF CAPACITORS.

4. REMOVE THE JUMPERS AFTER A PERIOD OF 5 MINUTES HAS ELAPSED.

5. MAKE A VISUAL INSPECTION OF ALL CAPACITORS. CHECK FOR BROKEN BUSHINGS,

BULGING TANKS, AND OBVIOUS OIL LEAKS.

6. REMOVE THE LINE SIDE CONNECTION OF EACH CAPACITOR. IT IS NOT NECESSARY

TO REMOVE THE NEUTRAL CONNECTION.

7. USING A CAPACITANCE METER*, MEASURE THE CAPACITANCE BETWEEN THE PHASE

AND THE NEUTRAL TERMINALS OF EACH CAPACITOR. A READING FROM EACH TANK IS
REQUIRED. IF THE MEASURED VALUE OF THE CAPACITANCE IS NOT IN THE ACCEPTABLE
RANGE, AS SHOWN BELOW, THE CAPACITOR IS BAD ORDER AND MUST BE RPLACED.

ACCEPTABLE CAPACITANCE VALUES (MICROFARADS)

CAPACITOR MINIMUM NOMINAL MAXIMUM

SIZE (kVAR)
150 2.30 2.56 3.07

8. WHEN SHIPPING CAPACITOR TANKS, A PIECE OF CONDUCTOR SHALL BE INSTALLED

FROM THE BUSHING TO THE TANK GROUND (OR BETWEEN THE BUSHINGS ON TWO
BUSHING TANKS).

9. LOW VOLTAGE FUSES IN THE CONTROL UNIT ARE:

SANGAMO - 10 AMP SLOW - BLOW FNM10 - BUSSMAN (0601408)

FISHER PIERCE - 5 AMP SLOW - BLOW FNM10 - BUSSMAN (0601407)

FISHER PIERCE RADIO CONTROLLED - 10 AMP SLOW - BLOW - BUSSMAN

FNM10 - (0601408)

HD ELECTRIC PAGER CONTROLLED - 15 AMP SLOW - BLOW - BUSSMAN,

MDA-15 OR LITTLE FUSE 326015P
(0601409)

10. INSTALL ALL NEW PRIMARY FUSES AFTER REPLACING ANY OF THE TANKS. A FAULT
THAT BLOWS ONRE FUSE GENERALLY WEAKENS THE OTHER TWO.

NOTE: THE FIRST FOUR STEPS OF THE ABOVE PROCEDURE MAY BE OMITTED FOR NEW
INSTALLATIONS THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN ENERGIZED.

*CAPACITANCE METER REPLACES THE PREVIOUSLY USED SIMPSON METER FOR CHECKING
CAPACITORS.
