Abstract
A method and system are provided for load or branch circuit recovery from a fault(s) on an electrical system. The method and system energize, at a branch device, a branch circuit after expiry of a predetermined disconnection period of time that was initiated in response to a detected arc fault on the branch circuit. The method and system update a data value representing a number of times an attempt has been made to energize the branch circuit in response to detected arc faults on the branch circuit. Upon determining that the data value satisfies or crosses an attempt threshold, the method and system prevent or delay at the branch device the energizing of the branch circuit.
