7.8 Differential Protection for Capacitor Banks
For inrush-current detection, 2 methods working in parallel are used:
•
Component of the 2nd harmonic relative to the fundamental component in the differential current

As Figure 7-47
the 2nd harmonic exceeds the set threshold value (parameter: 2nd harmonic content), a phase-
segregated blocking occurs. The harmonics develop differently in the different phases. If exceeding of
the 2nd harmonic is detected in a phase, it may be necessary to block all phases simultaneously. This
blocking must be limited with regard to time and is controlled by the parameter Crossblock. time
2nd har.. The correct positioning of the filter windows is controlled by the internal pickup.
If you want only one method to be active, the other method can be changed to inactive. For this, parameter
Blocking with 2. harmonic = no is used.
