an interrupting device electrically connecting one or more line terminals to one or more load terminals when the interrupting device is in a reset condition and disconnecting the line terminals from the load terminals when the interrupting device is in a tripped condition; and
a controller having an electronic processor and a memory, the controller configured to
monitor a current of the one or more line terminals,
identify a presence of an in-rush condition, wherein an in-rush of the current exists when the one or more cycles of current conform with a decay progression envelope, wherein conforming with the decay progression envelope includes falling between an upper and lower limit pair specific to the cycle's position in sequence, and
