Hi All,
What is the purpose of surge capacitor at motor terminal in high voltage motor? We have one 4.16KV 1000HP motor with surge capacitor at its terminal. We suspect this capacitor is faulty. Switchgear tripping on instantaneous current when starting the motor. Meggering cable, motor found OK. Capacitor phase to ground resistance showing 500kohms. Part number of capacitor is 18L15UJ. make: GE.
Can anyone advise whether we can try starting motor without this capacitor to prove motor is OK.
Regards,
Shree
