A condition for the use of trip circuit monitoring is that the control voltage for the circuit
breaker is greater than the sum of the minimum voltage drops of both binary inputs
(V
St
> 2 ⋅ V
BImin
). Since at least 17 V are needed for each binary input, the monitor can
only be used with a system control voltage of over 35 V.
Figure 6-64 Principle of Trip Circuit Monitor with Two Binary Inputs
Monitoring with binary inputs not only detects interruptions in the trip circuit and loss
of control voltage, it also monitors the response of the circuit breaker using the position
of the circuit breaker auxiliary contacts.
Depending on the conditions of the trip contact and the circuit breaker, the binary in-
puts are activated (logical condition “H” in Table 6-5), or not activated (logical condition
“L”).
Even for healthy trip circuits the condition that both binary inputs are not actuated (“L”)
is possible during a short transition period (trip contact is closed, but the circuit breaker
has not yet opened.) A continuous state of this condition is only possible when the trip
circuit has been interrupted, a short-circuit exists in the trip circuit, a loss of battery
voltage occurs, or malfunctions occur with the circuit breaker mechanism.
