Abstract

See full text

A faulted circuit indicator includes an inrush restraint circuit that suppresses a trip signal when an inrush current rises from below a minimum value to a trip value within a predetermined time and then drops again to another value such as the trip value. According to various aspects the restraint ends after a fixed time or after a variable time. According to another aspect a second trip circuit overrides the inrush restraint circuit when the current rises a given amount beyond the first trip value.
