What it represents

A minimum-current relay operates according to a configured low-current condition. Control drawings must identify whether it supervises an operating load, a permissive or another circuit.

How to read it

  • Check how the relay handles zero current during intentional shutdown.
  • 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

  • Name supervised circuit
  • Reference enable condition
  • State threshold and delay

A distinction that matters

Low current can be an intentional stopped state; the control logic defines when it is abnormal.
