A maximum-current relay changes its output when the measured current meets a configured high-current condition.

## What it represents

A maximum-current relay changes its output when the measured current meets a configured high-current condition. Its schematic separates measurement, auxiliary power and relay outputs.

## How to read it

- Determine whether the input is direct current, a CT secondary or a conditioned signal.
- The preview is an original explanation of this function. Match the actual drawing convention to its legend and the selected equipment documentation.

## Information to show or reference

- Identify measured input
- Reference threshold and delay
- Show output destination

## Important distinction

A maximum-current monitoring element is not a complete feeder protection scheme by itself.

## Facts

- Drawing role: Monitoring element
- Representation scope: Functional concept; not an official standard graphic or a product footprint
