PSI has standardized on the 69 kv ungrounded star, 7.2 mvar or multiple of the 7.2 mvar shunt capacitor bank for var control. This document defines the considerations to be addressed when specifying a 69 kv ungrounded capacitor bank and for providing suitable protection. The design goal is to provide a bank that is reliable and meets operational requirements at minimum cost with standard components. The bank components will be discussed separately. This paper defines the considerations for specifying capacitor banks to minimize cost, improve reliability and help standardize design. The components making up the bank will be individually discussed with special emphasis on the protection and control.
