ABSTRACT:
A circuit interrupter includes a circuit arrangement for sampling a conditioned current value and determining operating characteristics related to the current flow through an electrical circuit. Also included is a circuit arrangement for comparing the operating characteristics to preselectable tripping parameters and for initiating a trip condition when an operating characteristic exceeds a corresponding tripping parameter. Additionally, a circuit arrangement for initiating a hardware override trip condition using a minimum number of components upon sensing an override signal, is also included; the override signal representing a limit selectable from a range of values.
