Figure 8–3: COMPENSATED BANK NEUTRAL OVERVOLTAGE APPLICATION
b) BALANCED CASE
To understand neutral voltage unbalance protection, we can start with Kirchhoff's current law for the neutral node of the
bank:
(EQ 8.27)
This expression can be rearranged as follows.
(EQ 8.28)
Multiplying both sides by –1 / C
A
and substituting the sum of the phase voltages with 3 V
0
yields:
(EQ 8.29)
As the left hand side of this equation is equal to zero, we can subtract it from the expression inside the absolute value
brackets in equation 8.25 to get:
(EQ 8.30)
The unbalance ratio k -values that reflect the initial or inherent bank unbalance are chosen as:
(EQ 8.31)
Therefore, as seen from the previous two equations, the initial operating signal will be zero.
