Whilst I do not expect the motor to either start or run, would running a motor without its capacitor connected cause breaker to trip if the motor was good. Pumps 1 and 3 are identical to each other, but different to pump 2, so I can''t borrow the capacitor as a swap to check. It is much more likely to be the capacitor than the motor at fault

The trip coil won''t stay connected long enough to damage it, even if it did cause the current flow to be higher than rated. Most CTD''s have a current limiter in the circuit that will somewhat limit the trip current when a trip happens while AC is present so the capacitor voltage will drop during a trip.
