resistor. The circuit breaker open indication is set to block TCSSCBR
when the circuit breaker is open.
Trip-circuit supervision and other trip contacts
It is typical that the trip circuit contains more than one trip contact in parallel, for
example in transformer feeders where the trip of a Buchholz relay is connected in
parallel with the feeder terminal and other relays involved.
