在低压配电网络中,运行着大量的感性无功负荷需要进行补偿,否则,将使网络损耗增加,电压质量恶化。为了提高供用电质量,降低线损与节能,以及充分利用设备的容量,以自愈式低电压并联电容器为主要元件,接触器为投切开关的低压电容无功补偿装置得到广泛的应用。这些装置一般是将电容器分为若干组。根据控制物理量的变化,进行电容器的投切。但是,若无功负荷经常波动变化,而装置又需要将cosφ控制在较高水平时,电容器的投切,往往就比较频繁,从而可能给电容器造成危害,使其早期损坏。
1 电容器投入时,产生过电压与过电流
1.1 电容器在正弦电压下的投入
电容器投入时的等值回路如图1所示。
图1中r为回路中等值电阻
如图示,当电容器在正弦电压U(t)=Umsin(ωt+φ)下投入时,电路的微分方程
解方程(1),可得电容器投入时,电容器上的电压Uc为:

A为常数,与电容器投入时的初始状态有关。
电容器投入时的电压Uc曲线如图2所示。


图中U′与U″分别为Uc的稳态分量与暂态分量。
