If harmonic problems exist, they most often manifest themselves first at shunt capacitor banks in the form of audible noise, blown fuses or capacitor unit failures.. As frequency varies, so reactance varies and a point can be reached when the capacitor reactance and the supply reactance are equal.This point is known as the circuit resonant frequency.

4.4 Capacitor Banks 85 4.4 Capacitor Banks Harmonics affect capacitor banks in the following manner: • Capacitors are overloaded by harmonic currents, since the fact that their reactance decreases with frequency makes them act as sinks for harmonics. Also, harmonic voltages produce large currents causing capacitor fuses to be blown [3, 4].
Looking at the current flowing through the capacitor bank, the effects of the harmonic currents are even more evident.

Despite their essential role in harmonic filters (excluding reactors), capacitors cannot avoid the damaging effects of harmonics. In power systems with high harmonic distortion levels, capacitor banks are especially vulnerable to failure.
As a result, the capacitor bank acts like a sink, attracting unfiltered harmonic currents. This effect increases the thermal and dielectric stresses to the capacitor units (i.e. overload). To illustrate, consider a harmonic-rich electrical system with 5 th harmonic voltage of around 20% the fundamental.
In power systems with high harmonic distortion levels, capacitor banks are especially vulnerable to failure. Harmonic resonance in power systems can be classified as parallel resonance or series resonance, both of which are prevalent in harmonic-rich environments.
In power systems with high levels of harmonic distortion, capacitor banks are particularly prone to failure. The combination of harmonics and capacitors can lead to a severe power quality issue known as harmonic resonance, which can cause extensive damage and further reduce the life of the capacitors.
The capacitor banks are installed to compensate for the reactive power. The net current, thus, gets reduced as the capacitive kVAr of the capacitor banks nullify the reactive kVAr, The capacitors, along with the inductive power system elements, affect system impedance in two ways.
