METAL ENCLOSED CAPACITOR GROUNDED WYE APPLICATIONS It is rare that more than one series group is used in metal enclosed applications. If we make that assumption we can simplify the above formulas. Looking a balance load (See Figure 2) with two capacitors per phase, we have the following:

For 2 units in parallel will equal C 1 +C2 =0.00530519 farads =2vars Or Z T = This gives us = 2 amps or, = = = 2amps =
Each leg in a balanced grounded wye capacitor bank as configured above will be 2 amps, and will be zero amps at the ground node point Looking at an unbalance load (See Figure 3)using the same parameters as the balance load given above we have the following:
= 1amp This means the current neutral to ground will be 1 amp and this will flow as unbalance current in the neutral. Looking back at the formula for neutral current formula (1) we had
I U = 1 amp Let V T = V

N=2 S =1 F=1 This gives us 1 amp in the neutral, which confirms our numbers. However, we can really reduce this formula when S = 1. This reduces to and even further

and if V T = V, this is really simplified to Also the voltage on the remaining units given by %Vr = with S = 1, and V T = V, %Vr will always be 100% For the percentages and per unit values see Table 1 below.
