6 FAQs about [Capacitor line tripping]
What is a capacitor trip device?
Capacitor trip devices are commonly used in switchgear to provide trip circuit power and to provide voltage sag ride through capability for digital relays. CTD is not commonly used for closing applications as it is expected that the normal control power will be available when closing is desired.
What happens if a capacitor bank is tripped?
For energization of the capacitor banks, a circuit switcher equipped with closing resistor is used. When a capacitor bank is tripped due to a fault, the circuit breaker is open. The circuit switcher is still in the closed position.
What is the voltage of a CTD capacitor?
Voltage on capacitor will be the peak voltage of input AC waveform. For 120VAC input, output voltage will be 120*sqrt (2) = 120*1.414=169VDC. For DC input CTD, output voltage will have the same magnitude voltage as input. Can CTD be used as a DC power supply?
What happens if a capacitor is charged before energization?
On initial energization, DC power is immediately available even before capacitors are fully charged. Capacitors are typically charged to 90% voltage in less than 0.5s when CTD is turned ON from a discharged state. In figure 2, Thermistor ‘T’ is used to protect against short circuits and overloads.
Is ripple voltage a problem for inductive load like trip coil?
Ripple voltage is not a problem for inductive load like trip coil. Only when CTD is used to provide continuous DC power, ripple will be present. See the ripple voltage in figure 4 where a 330uF CTD is used to power 24VA resistive load while the AC input is still healthy.
What is CTD capacitance?
CTD capacitance could be anywhere from 330uF to 4500uF with larger capacitance translating in to more stored energy and more trip operations. When AC input is lost, DC power is immediately available to load as there are no relays or switches in CTD. On initial energization, DC power is immediately available even before capacitors are fully charged.
