Abstract
A circuit interrupting device including a fault detection circuit and an auto-monitoring circuit. The fault detection circuit is configured to detect a fault condition of the circuit interrupting device, and output a fault detection signal in response to detecting the fault condition. Wherein the fault detection signal is configured to place the circuit interrupting device in a tripped condition. The fault detection circuit is further configured to output a pre-trigger signal, wherein the pre-trigger signal is configured to not place the circuit interrupting device in the tripped condition. The auto-monitoring circuit is configured to monitor an auto-monitoring input signal, wherein the value of the auto-monitoring signal is at least partially determined by a value of a pre-trigger signal generated.
