Preventing overvoltage tripping of adjustable-speed drives
Inrush current, if not limited by impedances in the circuit, causes a rapid charging of the dc bus capacitor, resulting in an overvoltage on the dc bus of the ASD (Fig. 5). If the transient overvoltage on the dc bus exceeds the preset overvoltage trip level of the ASD, the overvoltage protection circuitry of the ASD trips the drive off line.

Capacitor Bank Unbalance Protection system
The protection of shunt capacitor banks against internal faults involves several protective devices/ elements in a coordinated scheme.

6 FAQs about [Capacitor protection overvoltage trip]
What is relaying for capacitor-bank protection?
Relaying for capacitor-bank protection includes overcurrent (for fault protection), overvoltage, system problem detection, and current or voltage unbalance, depending on bank configuration, for monitoring the condition of the capacitor units.
How to protect HV capacitor bank CB?
CBF protection shall be applied to the HV capacitor bank CB with initiation by all associated protection elements. The CBF shall be enabled in the 699 relay and shall trip all CB(s) directly upstream of the capacitor bank CB. The CB status shall be derived from overcurrent check with a threshold of 20 per cent of load current of the capacitor bank.
Can a capacitor fail in an overvoltage condition?
Capacitors may fail in an overvoltage condition, and the failure mode can be unpredictable. This makes relying on a capacitor to fail in order to protect other equipment a poor design practice. I've personally seen overvoltaged capacitors emit flames.
How to prevent a false tripping in a capacitor bank?
To prevent a possible false tripping, the current set-ting is typically selected above the capacitor phase current [8.10.1]. If the phases of the bank are constructed in distinct separate structures, a flashover within the capacitor bank will begin as a short circuit fault over of a single-series group.
Why are capacitor units imposed to overvoltage?
Capacitor units are imposed to overvoltage across ele-ments within a unit as elements become shorted in case of failure. The overvoltage on the remaining ele-ments shall be considered. Excessive voltage on the remaining elements may lead to cascading failure dur-ing system transient overvoltages [8.10.1].
Does a capacitor need overload protection?
Given that the capacitor can generally accommodate a voltage of 110% of its rated voltage for 12 hours a day, this type of protection is not always necessary. Overcurrent of long duration due to the flow of harmonic current is detected by an overload protection of one the following types:
