A method of monitoring components in a protection device interrupter comprising: capacitively coupling at least one of a line hot arm and a line neutral arm in the protection device interrupter to a current sensing coil; analyzing a noise signal created by the capacitively coupling when the line hot arm and a line neutral arm are disconnected, respectively, from a load hot arm and a load neutral of the protection device interrupter to designate a noise reference cycle to represent reference noise data; monitoring the coil and analog components of the protection device interrupter while the line hot arm and a line neutral arm are disconnected, respectively, from the load hot arm and the load neutral by sensing the noise signal created by the capacitively coupling and using the noise signal and the reference noise data to determine if any of the coil and the analog components is to be disabled, the analog components comprising at least one of analog signal conditioning circuitry and an analog to digital input of a digital processor in the protection device interrupter; disabling connection of the line hot arm and the line neutral arm to, respectively, the load hot arm and the load neutral when the noise signal meets a first designated criterion with respect to the reference noise data; sensing a current signal from the coil when the line hot arm and the line neutral arm are connected, respectively, to the load hot arm and the load neutral; and disconnecting line hot arm and the line neutral arm, respectively, from the load hot arm and the load neutral when the current signal satisfies a second designated criterion with respect to the reference noise data. capacitively coupling at least one of a line hot arm and a line neutral arm in the protection device interrupter to a current sensing coil; analyzing a noise signal created by the capacitively coupling when the line hot arm and a line neutral arm are disconnected, respectively, from a load hot arm and a load neutral of the protection device interrupter to designate a noise reference cycle to represent reference noise data; monitoring the coil and analog components of the protection device interrupter while the line hot arm and a line neutral arm are disconnected, respectively, from the load hot arm and the load neutral by sensing the noise signal created by the capacitively coupling and using the noise signal and the reference noise data to determine if any of the coil and the analog components is to be disabled, the analog components comprising at least one of analog signal conditioning circuitry and an analog to digital input of a digital processor in the protection device interrupter; disabling connection of the line hot arm and the line neutral arm to, respectively, the load hot arm and the load neutral when the noise signal meets a first designated criterion with respect to the reference noise data; sensing a current signal from the coil when the line hot arm and the line neutral arm are connected, respectively, to the load hot arm and the load neutral; and disconnecting line hot arm and the line neutral arm, respectively, from the load hot arm and the load neutral when the current signal satisfies a second designated criterion with respect to the reference noise data. <EOS>
