Abstract: A method of operating an auto-monitoring circuit of a circuit interrupting device. The method including monitoring one or more signals to determine an operating state of said circuit interrupting device; outputting a first signal having a first voltage level based on the operating state, wherein the first voltage level is greater than zero volts; and outputting a second signal having a second voltage level based on the operating state, wherein the second voltage level is greater than the first voltage level.

Abstract: A wiring device including an interrupting device and a controller. The interrupting device electrically connects one or more line terminals to one or more load terminals when the interrupting device is in a reset condition and disconnects the line terminals from the load terminals when the interrupting device is in a tripped condition. The controller is configured to, determine a frequency of an input voltage at the one or more line terminals, determine whether the frequency is within a predetermined range, and when the frequency is within the predetermined range, perform a test of the wiring device.

Abstract: A wiring device including an interrupting device, a fault detection circuit, and a testing circuit. The interrupting device is electrically connecting one or more line terminals to one or more load terminals. The fault detection circuit is configured to detect a fault condition and generate a fault detection signal in response to detecting the fault condition. The fault detection signal being provided to the interrupting device to place the interrupting device in a tripped condition. The testing circuit is configured to determine a frequency of an input voltage at the one or more line terminals, filter the frequency of the input voltage, determine whether the filtered frequency is within a predetermined range, and when the filtered frequency is within the predetermined range, perform a test of the wiring device.

Abstract: A circuit interrupting device including one or more line terminals for connecting to an external power supply, one or more load terminals for connecting to an external load, an interrupting device, a fault detection circuit, and an auto-monitoring circuit. When the auto-monitoring circuit determines that the circuit interrupting device has reached its end-of-life, and it is determined that contacts of said interrupting device have not failed, then a signal is driven to a first level to actuate a switch and open the contacts. Additionally, said signal may further be driven to a second level to inhibit said circuit interrupting device from resetting when it is determined that contacts of said interrupting device have failed.
