When configured for high burden applications, the burden is
either cut off or is economised to a low figure after a 40-60 ms
time delay. Due to the greater minimum operating current, the
high burden application also permits the use of supervision relays
such as type MVAX 11, where the wiring is at risk. The 40- 60 ms
time delay ensures reliable operation of series elements such as
type MCAA repeat relays.
