Abstract
A capacitor bank which has a plurality of capacitor units, in which each capacitor has a plurality of electrical capacitor elements, and the capacitor units are divided into a plurality of groups of capacitor units. The arrangement has a plurality of group monitoring units, with one of the group monitoring units associated with each group of capacitor units. At least one of the group monitoring units is configured so that it monitors the respective group of capacitor units for a failure of a capacitor element in one of the capacitor units of the group and, when such a failure of a capacitor element is detected, transmits data which describe this failure of the capacitor element to a monitoring receiver.
