  • Page 372 A A Q Q -C255 -C255 6 Connections and application examples Instruction manual Version: 2.11 Figure. 6.4 - 171. Non-latched trip contact. When the auto-reclosing function is used in feeder applications, the trip output contacts must be non- latched. Trip circuit supervision is generally easier and more reliable to build with non-latched outputs. The open coil remains energized only as long as the circuit breaker is opened and the output releases.
  • Page 373 A A Q Q -C255 -C255 6 Connections and application examples Instruction manual Version: 2.11 The trip circuit with a latched output contact can be monitored, but only when the circuit breaker's status is "Closed". Whenever the breaker is open, the supervision is blocked by an internal logic scheme.
