In Article 460 (Capacitors), Part II (1000V or less) has code for conductors (135%), but Part III (Over 1000V) has no code whatsoever for conductors. Is there a reason for that?
IEEE 18, 1036, and C37.99 do not have a requirement or guide for the conductors. IEEE 18 says the capacitor bank should be capable of operating at 135% of nominal current under "contingency system and bank conditions", but again, no guidance on the conductors.
I assume industry standard is to size them to 135% of the cap bank rating, but curious as to why the NEC is silent on it.
