The delay circuit includes a first switch, a second switch, and a third switch. The first switch is configured to receive a fault detection signal and trigger in response to receiving the fault detection signal. Wherein the triggering of the second switch and the third switch is delayed for an amount of time, and after the amount of time has elapsed, the second switch and the third switch are activated to place the one or more line conductors and the one or more load conductors in the tripped condition.
