When the CB is closed, super
vision current passes through the opto-input, resistor R2 and the trip coil. When the
CB is open, current flows through the opto-input, resistors R1 and R2 (in parallel), resistor R3 and the trip coil. The
supervision current is maintained through the trip path with the breaker in either state, therefore providing pre-
closing supervision.
5.3.1 RESISTOR VALUES
Resistors R1 and R2 are used to prevent false tripping, if the opto-input is accidentally shorted. However, unlike the
other tw
o schemes. This scheme is dependent upon the position and value of these resistors. Removing them
would result in incomplete trip circuit monitoring. The table below shows the resistor values and voltage settings
required for satisfactory operation.
