It [supervisory current] is part of a diagnostic scheme that module manufacturers devised to verify the presence of open circuits. The principle is that as long as a load is connected to the module, there should be current flow. Only when the load is disconnected—creating an open circuit—should there be zero current draw. 2, record 1, English, - supervisory%20current
