There is a possibility to monitor the trip circuit and trip coil continuity. This can be done by monitoring Vdc through the
output contact when this is open.
As shown on FIGURE 3-10, when the relay is not tripped, trip contact 35-36 remains open. If the breaker is closed, its
auxiliary contact 52a is closed. Therefore, a little current is flowing, about 2 mA, through terminals 15 and 16 through
the voltage detector circuit, which flows through 52/a and the tripping coil 52TC (TC = tripping coil). Current will only
circulate when there is continuity in the whole circuit, so the complete circuit is monitored, and not only the trip coil.
This circuit includes auxiliary 52/a as well as the whole wiring between the battery and the relay tripping terminals,
and between these and the breaker tripping circuit.
This is the first case shown on the table. With closed breaker, voltage is detected by V 52/a sensor, and this means
that there is continuity in the supervised circuit.
In this table, ON means that the voltage detector V52/a is active, detecting voltage presence.
