    Protections 7.3 ELECTRICAL TRIP ALARMS NOTE: The alarm condition must be rectified before a reset takes place. If the alarm condition remains, it is not possible to reset the unit. Electrical Trip alarms are latching and stop the generator bus but in a controlled manner. On initiation of the Electrical Trip condition the module de-energises all the Close Bus output to remove the load from the generator bus.
