What is a Capacitor Bank and why is it used?
For this reason, it is termed as internally fused capacitor bank. The capacitors and fuse units of the internally fused capacitor banks are housed within a same enclosure. Hence, these capacitor banks are fairly small in size, however it also depends on the rating of the bank. If one or more capacitors fail, the operation of the capacitor bank is not affected. …
