The trip unit includes a trip mechanism that is held in place by the tripper bar. As long as the tripper bar holds the trip mechanism, the mechanism remains firmly locked in place. The operating mechanism is held in the “ON” position by the trip mechanism.
“The trip units shall include pro-grammable tripping setpoints for cur-rent unbalance, voltage unbalance, overvoltage, undervoltage, reverse power, overfrequency and underfre-quency. Protective function operation shall be recorded in the trip log with cause and associated value at time of trip.”

In abnormal conditions of failure of HT PT supply, the tripping energy is derived from energy stored in the charged capacitor banks. Normally the capacitors are rated to store energy for two trip and one close operation. The scheme is shown in Figure 5.
Trip unit setting range: minimum setting/maximum setting. The trip unit rating In corresponds to the maximum value of the setting range. Micrologic type M trip units (in particular Micrologic 6 E-M) also incorporate additional protection for the motor application.
The trip unit In value is visible on the front face of the circuit breaker when the trip unit is installed. The trip unit In rating (in amperes) is the maximum value of the trip unit. Example: Micrologic 5.2 A 250 A trip unit: o Setting range: 100–250 A o In rating = 250 A

The Challenge for Green Energy: How to Store Excess Electricity
Conventional batteries store energy in chemical form. With flow batteries, charged chemicals are pumped into storage tanks, allowing still more chemical to be charged and pumped away, then pumped back into the active portion of the battery and drawn down as needed. One big advantage: Battery "size" can be expanded by simply adding more chemicals …
