3.9 Status of alarms
Alarms inform the user that LT or GF protection tripping may occur in the circuit breaker. In
these fault current ranges, promptly reducing the fault currents can prevent a protection
tripping operation.
Active alarms can be indicated and evaluated in the "Circuit breaker alarm status" register.
