Three phase shunt capacitor are typically either H connected or Y/star connected. The main protection is unbalanced protection which will be
provided via current transformer, this CT will be connected at tie point between quadrature midpoints.

Let suppose fault occurs in Q1, and capacitors string is composed of units as below similar to previous case = 0.9729 , series groups are
2, and parallel groups numbers are 3. We are supposing that fault occurs in quadrant 1 of H bridge.

In other quadrature, situation of capacitor units , groups and others are same but without any fuse blown.

G is the integer number represents the appearance of grounding system, G=1 for ungrounded and G=0 for grounded Capacitor. (0) is the
phase capacitance with no blown fuse.

Now in normal condition there will be no unbalance current, you can see it by putting 1 = 2 = 3 = 4 = 1.5 . . ,
