Okay so I have to work with SVRs in a schematic I'm looking at and I've never seen them before

I know how BJTs work but I don't understand how the current is flowing
so far I see that a Vin at base gives a current from bottom base to emitter, which let's current flow from bottom collector to emitter I think
So does the current from the 12V go to the collector on the bottom AND the base at the top?
My boss says its for fixing some short circuit problem and that one BJT makes sure that its always "on"...
anyways I'm pretty confused and I've read some articles over SVRs but they don't explain them in terms of BJTs, but as a whole component
any help would be appreciated
