An underestimated energy of MOV will result damage of overvoltage to series capacitors. On the other hand, an overestimated energy of MOV, however will bring excessive cost. Comprehensive simulations on the internal and external system faults will produce a clear picture for the reasonable design of overvoltage protection.
When capacitor units in a capacitor bank fail, the amount of increase in voltage across the remaining units depends on the connection of the bank, the number of series groups of capacitors per phase, the number of units in each series group, and the number of units removed from one series group.A similar effect occurs on the internal elements that make up a …

$begingroup$ Suppose that the 2Vc power supply is an ideal voltage source, i.e. it has zero internal resistance (Rspike = 0). Look at the formula in my answer. As your can see, the voltage across the capacitor will be 2Vc, not Vc, and the capacitor will be destroyed. That''s why the spike source internal resistance plays a crucial role.

A capacitor is not a fuse. Unlike a fuse it is undocumented how a capacitor fails. What I mean to say is: - when a fuse fails, it breaks the circuit and the circuit it safe. - when a capacitor fails, it may either break the circuit or short it. To prevent a capacitor from failing you shouldn''t exceed its …
