ABSTRACT:
Fault abatement circuit breaker for providing protection of critical loads. The circuit breaker provides both arc fault protection and fault lockout protection in one integrated circuit breaker. The fault lockout protection reduces the risk of short circuit damage by predicting and preventing the event. The arc fault protection trips the circuit breaker when arcing is sensed. The integrated circuit thus provides for a minimum of short circuit damage, thereby maximizing process and/or equipment up time.
