Trip Circuit SupervisionApplications
• Improve the security and availality of the tripping circuit by a permanent continuity control.
• In case of circuit interruption, an alarm is generated
• Without this control, the interrupted circuit will only be detected after a fault without correct clearance.
> Title of presentation - Date - References9 9
Trip Circuit SupervisionApplications• Applicable if the trip coil of circuit breaker is activated
with a DC polarity
• In other cases, an interruption of the trip circuit will cause an immediate trip.
• Special application cases must be studied when using auxiliairy tripping contacts or lock-out relays
> Title of presentation - Date - References10 10
Trip Circuit SupervisionApplications
• Will allow a reduction of cyclic maintenance costs
• Will allow a more important delay between real circuit breaker tests.These tests become only required for the mechanical part control of the CB
> Title of presentation - Date - References11 11
Trip Circuit SupervisionApplications
• Need to be coordinated with the circuit breaker manufacturer :
- The maximum permanent current depends on thecoil impedance,
- The maximum permanent current must not cause anycoil heating,
- The electrical scheme of the CB tripping circuitmust be in acordance with the selected tripcircuit supervision scheme

Trip Circuit Supervision MVAX relays
2 types :
•MVAX 12 : Trip supply supervision only
•MVAX 21 : Complete trip circuit and supply supervision, with CB closed only
•MVAX 31 and MVAX 91:Complete trip circuit and supply supervision, with CB in either state
MVAX91 is 3 MVAX31 identical circuits in the same box.
MVAX91 is dedicated to single pole CB and MVAX31 is dedicated to 3 poles CB
> Title of presentation - Date - References28 28
Trip Circuit Supervision MVAX relays
MVAX31 / MVAX91 operation :
•CB healthy and CB closed, both units RL1 RL2 are energized
•If circuit is open or power supply fails, RL2 drops off and opens contact RL2-1 to de energize RL1
•When CB is open, RL3 is also energized via the NC auxiliary switch, and RL1 is held by contact RL3-1
•RL3 will detect abnormal trip circuit with CB open in a similar manner to RL2 with CB closed.
•RL units are delayed of 400ms
