Unbalance protection for capacitor banks
(TOCC)
rent of stage IHigh is low compared to the earth fault current in the system. The current
stage I>Low is normally set to give alarm at 50% of the set operate current of stage
I>High.
The calculation of settings for the unbalance protection function must take into consid-
eration how the capacitor bank is built up and it is often made by aids of a computer
program.

The relay setting value is given in percentage of the secondary base current value, I
associated to the current transformer input I5. The value for I>Low and I>High is given
