Model 295-240 Capacitor Trip Device
The Model 295-240 Capacitor Trip Device ensures reliable circuit breaker tripping in industrial environments. Designed for a nominal input voltage of 240VAC, it provides a stable 339VDC output. This device maintains a charge for at least 12 seconds after the charging voltage is removed, a critical feature for facilitating essential tripping functions during power interruptions. Its robust construction allows operation across a wide temperature range of -20° to +131° F and tolerates 0-97% humidity without condensation. The unit's frequency range of 50-400Hz further enhances its adaptability across various power systems. With a continuous current draw of less than 5 milliamps, it offers efficient operation. This device provides consistent performance for critical safety applications, ensuring operational continuity and equipment protection through its dependable trip voltage threshold of 65% of normal voltage.
