The capacitor-tripping unit (CTU) is usually installed in the electricity substation, and is used to operate the shunt trip coil of a circuit breaker if there is a loss of power to the transformer. This
AI Customer ServiceAfter the PSU has tripped the breakers, the capacitors are at least partially charged. The capacitors don''t drain immediately, so the current is likely lower next time. Edit:
AI Customer ServiceThe capacitor is continuously charged when control power is available, providing energy for normal trip coil operation. Because mechanical relays are not involved, energy for the trip coil

AI Customer ServiceThe Capacitor Trip Unit (CTU) is usually installed in substations & operates the shunt trip coil of a circuit breaker during a loss of power supply to the transformers. This prevent transformer being automatically energized
AI Customer ServiceBy optimizing load distribution, you can reduce the risk of circuit breakers tripping and ensure a more reliable power supply. As stated by Izhar Ul Haq from the School
AI Customer Service2.3 Capacitor Tripping Scheme. For installations where DC supply is not available or where it is uneconomical to provide battery / battery charger for DC supply or
AI Customer ServiceTo protect the power supply before it goes into self-protect, the MCB (fuse) needs the extra current and time, but trip before the power supply stops providing the current. This may be a mutually conflicted goal. Especially if there are any inductive or capacitance factors that affect the circuit.
After the PSU has tripped the breakers, the capacitors are at least partially charged. The capacitors don't drain immediately, so the current is likely lower next time. Edit: you could also just not switch the PSU off. It draws like 0,1W when plugged in. You can also find these numbers in the same reviews. :)
With an Electro-Mechanical circuit protection device (a fuse or MCB) the circuit designer must account for additional current that may be required to trip the fuse or circuit breaker (Reserve for Protection). When using Bulletin 1692 Electronic Circuit Protection (ECP), planning for the extra “tripping” is not required.
This is the most commonly used tripping scheme. The protective relay (PR) contact is arranged directly to trip the circuit breaker and it simultaneously energises an auxiliary unit X which then reinforces the contact that is energising the trip coil. The scheme is shown in Figure 1.
The 1 A loads typically are fused at 2 A and the 3.5 A loads are fused at 6 A. The tripping current for a fuse is about 1.8 times the fuse value so the current required to trip the fuse is shown in the table below: Note: Based only on the typical current of 9 A, a 10 A power supply might be considered.
The protective relay (PR) contact is arranged directly to trip the circuit breaker and it simultaneously energises an auxiliary unit X which then reinforces the contact that is energising the trip coil. The scheme is shown in Figure 1. All the above-mentioned tripping schemes envisage the use of separate DC supply for tripping.
