ABSTRACT:
In a circuit breaker static trip unit, a peak detector generates a DC current signal of a magnitude proportional to the rectified peak signal voltage developed across a current transformer burden resistor. The peak detector utilizes a differential amplifier operating in conjunction with a peak signal voltage detecting circuit connected therewith as a negative DC feedback network. A recovery circuit detects the relative amplitudes of consecutive signal voltage peaks pursuant to rapidly adjusting the peak signal voltage detecting circuit to signal voltage peaks of decreasing amplitudes.
