The circuit breaker failure protection can be used to trip any upstream
circuit breaker (CB), if the fault has not disappeared within a given
time after the initial trip command. A different output contact of the
relay must be used for this backup trip.
The operation of the circuit-breaker failure protection (CBFP) is
based on the supervision of the signal to the selected trip relay and
the time the fault remains on after the trip command.
