Abstract
A line protection device includes a current sensor, a digital filter circuit, a switch control circuit, and a non-volatile memory circuit. The current sensor is adapted to a sense a value of electric current through the electric line. The digital filter circuit is adapted to perform digital filtering of the value of electric current. The switch control circuit is adapted to control a switch to interrupt flow of the electric current through the electric line depending on the digitally filtered value of the electric current. The non-volatile memory circuit is adapted to store a state of the digital filter circuit.
