Abstract
A system for automatic power outage restoration includes a conversion module, the conversion module receiving relay package input from an electro-mechanical relay package and executing code to convert the relay package input to readable output transmitted to an automatic outage restoration system. The conversion module is configured to receive the relay package input and determine whether a circuit breaker corresponding to the electro-mechanical relay package is opened manually. The conversion module is further configured to determine whether a non-fault scenario has occurred at the circuit breaker and determine whether a time from an opening of the circuit breaker has been more than a preset time. The conversion module is further configured to, based on determining that the circuit breaker was not opened manually, that a non-fault scenario has not occurred, and that the time has not been more than the preset time, outputting a set signal from the conversion module, wherein an automatic outage restoration application resets the circuit breaker based on the set signal.
