Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 17:
18. An apparatus for clearing a circuit breaker, the apparatus comprising:
a sensor configured to sense data associated with an electrical branch circuit;
a load;
a semiconductor device configured to electrically connect the load to an energized wire of the electrical branch circuit; and
an electronic controller configured to:
receive the sensed data;
identify, from the sensed data, that a voltage value is within a first tolerance range;
identify, from the sensed data and at least partly responsive to identifying that the voltage value is within the first tolerance range, that a temperature value is within a second tolerance range;
electrically connect, at least partly responsive to identifying that the temperature value is within the second tolerance range, the load to the energized wire to clear the circuit breaker;
evaluate additional data associated with the electrical branch circuit; and
identify that the circuit breaker has cleared based on an evaluation of the additional data.
