1. A circuit configuration for supplying power to an electronic tripping device, comprising:
- a current-transforming device, a rectified output voltage of the current transforming device being fed to a charging capacitor;
a switched-mode power supply unit connected downstream from the charging capacitor for voltage control, the switched-mode power supply unit including a diode, a switching transistor, and a pulse modulation circuit, the diode charging an output capacitor connected in parallel to the electronic tripping device, the switching transistor controlling the charging of the output capacitor, the pulse width modulation circuit controlling the switching transistor, the pulse width modulation circuit controlling the switching transistor at a very high pulse duty factor when a set point of an output voltage at the output capacitor is reached; and
a maximum power point regulator connected to the pulse width modulation circuit, the maximum power point controlling the pulse width modulation circuit during an initial charging phase of the output capacitor so that an optimal operating point of maximum power matching is adjusted.

Abstract
A circuit configuration for supplying power to electronic tripping devices from a current-transforming device. A switched-mode power supply unit, in particular a choke/step-up transforming device having a pulse-width voltage control, is connected downstream of a charging capacitor. Once a set point of the output voltage at an output capacitor is reached, only a very high pulse duty factor is provided. Particularly, maximum power point control is provided during an initial charging phase. Circuit configurations of this kind serve the power supply of overvoltage tripping devices in low-voltage and medium-voltage systems.
