| 发明名称 | Method of tripping a circuit interrupter in a back fed configuration | ||
| 摘要 | A method of tripping a circuit interrupter in a back fed configuration is provided, wherein the circuit interrupter has separable contacts and an actuator, such as a solenoid, operatively coupled to the separable contacts. The method includes detecting within the circuit interrupter that a fault condition exists, and subsequent to detecting that the fault condition exists, determining whether a current is flowing within the circuit interrupter between a load side of the circuit interrupter and the separable contacts, and controlling operation of the actuator based on whether the current is flowing within the circuit interrupter. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A method of tripping a circuit interrupter in a back fed configuration, the circuit interrupter having separable contacts and an actuator operatively coupled to the separable contacts, the method comprising: detecting within the circuit interrupter that a fault condition exists; providing power to the actuator in response to detecting that the fault condition exists; and subsequent to providing power to the actuator, determining whether a current is flowing within the circuit interrupter between a load side of the circuit interrupter and the separable contacts, and controlling operation of the actuator based on whether the current is flowing within the circuit interrupter. | ||
