The bus-connected overvoltage relay is a time-delayed relay and is set to trip the bank if the system voltage exceeds the total voltage rating of the bank and before the unit voltage withstand time is...
HOME / The distribution box indicates that the capacitor has tripped - SMB AI-Systems & High-Speed Interconnect
As a capacitor is an open circuit to DC, when you put a DC megger on each capacitor, with others disconected (discharge resistors removed), I think you should see your meter go from some

If the bank is equipped with an unbalance detection scheme, the cause of the main breaker tripping may be discovered, but there may still be a problem of determining which capacitor has failed.

If capacitor is disconnected at the zero crossing of AC waveform, no voltage is stored and if capacitor is disconnected at the peak of AC wave, maximum voltage is stored.

Your AC capacitor provides the initial jolt of electricity so it can start. Capacitors wear out over time, and if you notice your AC has trouble starting or keeps tripping, the capacitor may be failing.

When the multimeter displays a consistently low resistance or signals a short circuit, it suggests that the capacitor has likely sustained damage—necessitating its replacement; this method

The fact that both are tripping would tend to indicate that the magnetic element is causing the trip, not the thermal element. My initial suspicion would be some type of transient event with a

Unbalance protection trips the bank when the resulting voltage becomes excessive on the remaining healthy capacitor elements or units.
