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. The supervising current
cannot detect if one or all the other contacts connected in parallel are not connected
properly.
