Capicitor Application Issues

Capacitors must be built to tolerate voltages and currents in excess of their ratings according to standards. The applicable standard for power capacitors is IEEE Std 18-2002, IEEE Standard for Shunt Power Capacitors.

Discuss the criterion for choice of voltage for transmission and distribution

Criterion For Choice Of Voltage For Transmission And Distribution. We know that the power W =VI , so for the same power if voltage is increased then current will decrease. If suppose power required is 500 W and voltage is 250 V then current I will be equal to 500/250 =2A. Now if voltage is increased from 250V to 500V and the power required is same then I = 500/500 =1 A Now, if the voltage is still increased to say 1000V for the same power then I = 500/1000 =0.5 A From the above examples, we see that if the voltage is doubled, the current...

What are the advantages of high voltage transmission? Give its limitations also.

Ans: High voltage transmission is subdivided into HVAC and HVDC transmission systems. (i) HVAC transmission: Advantages of HVAC transmission are as follows: As the voltage is increased, the current carried by the conductors decreases. The i2R losses correspondingly get reduced. However the cost of transmission towers, transformers, switches and circuit breakers rapidly increases with increase in voltage, in the upper ranges of a.c. transmission voltages. (ii) HVDC transmission: Advantages They (HVDC lines) are economical for bulk power...
