Capasitor Bank
Capacitor Bank is a group of several capacitors of the same rating that are connected
in series or parallel with each other to store electrical energy . The resulting bank is then used
to counteract or correct a power factor lag or phase shift in an alternative current (AC) power
supply. They can also be used in a direct current (DC) power supply to increase the ripple
current capacity of the power supply or to increase the overall amount of stored energy.
Capacitor banks work on the same theory that a single capacitor does; they are
designed to store electrical energy, just at a greater capacity than a single device. An
individual capacitor consists of two conductors which are separated by a dielectric or
insulating material. When current is sent through the conductors, an electric field that is static
in nature then develops in the dielectric which acts as stored energy. The dielectric is designed
to permit a predetermined amount of leakage which will gradually dissipate the energy stored
in the device which is one of the larger differences between capacitors and batteries.
The most common use of a capacitor bank for AC power supply error correction is in
industrial environments which use a large number of transformers and electric motors. Since
this equipment uses an inductive load, they are susceptible to phase shifts and power factor
lags in the power supply which can result in a loss of system efficiency if left uncorrected. By
incorporating a capacitor bank in the system, the power lag can be corrected at the cheapest
cost for the company when compared to making significant changes to the company power
grid or system that is supplying the equipment. Other uses for capacitor banks include Marx
generators, pulsed lasers, radars, fusion research, nuclear weapons detonators, and
electromagnetic railguns and coilguns.
