Abstract
A system for diagnosing circuit protection device field issues includes a remote computer system and a diagnostic circuit protection device installed at a customer location, wherein the circuit protection device includes a processor configured to execute a number of routines, a plurality of sensors structured to sense power circuit information, a memory accessible by the processor, and a communications module coupled to the non-volatile memory. The routines are structured to input sensed power circuit information and determine trip information for one or more trip cycles and cause the stored power circuit information and trip information to be transmitted to the remote computer system by the communications module over a network for storage and subsequent access for diagnostic purposes.
