The detuned reactor and capacitor assembly is capacitive for frequencies below fr, so allows reactive energy compensation. The detuned reactor and capacitor assembly is inductive, so prevents amplification of the harmonics. The serial frequency (fr) chosen must be below the first harmonic order present in the circuit.
The rated current (IN) of a capacitor is the current flowing through the capacitor when the rated voltage (UN) is applied at its terminals, supposing a purely sinusoidal voltage and the exact value of reactive power (KVAR) generated. Capacitor units shall be suitable for continuous operation at an r.m.s. current of (1.3 x IN).
A capacitor with a higher value of kVAR than the motor kVAR, under certain load conditions, may develop dangerous voltages due to self-excitation. At unity power factor, the residual voltage of a capacitor is equal to the system voltage. It rises at leading power factors.
