It then passes a current trans-former, which operates feeder power-factor meter, ammeterand the overload relay, which closes the switch-trippingcircuit whenever the current flowing exceeds the amount forwhich the relay is set. The main feeder switches can alsohe operated by a hand control switch, as wel
