  • lClA will then have logic 0 levels at both input terminals to cause a shift to logic 1 at its output terminal and effect consequent turn-on of transistor Q8, Q7, Q6 and OS for a timed interval and provide current flow through lines 26 and 16 to energize SCRl and trip coil T.
  • said means comprises means for controlling the supply of DC. energizing current to the set and trip coils in event of loss of main AC power, said last mentioned means being responsive to presence of normal AC power to block flow of DC energizing current, and being responsive to absence of normal AC voltage to make auxiliary DC power available to energize said set and trip coils.
