1. A method comprising:
- automatically generating an output signal responsive to an input signal, said input signal indicative of an arc fault, said output signal configured to cause an electrical circuit to open, said output signal generated responsive to a derived signal based upon a first threshold having a first amplitude, said first threshold changed from said first amplitude to a second amplitude if a predetermined percentage of historical sampled values of a measured electrical parameter are within a predetermined range during a predetermined time period, said second amplitude for said first threshold based upon an average of a predetermined count of said historical sampled values of said measured electrical parameter.

Abstract
Certain exemplary embodiments include a method, which can include automatically generating an output signal responsive to an input signal. The input signal can be indicative of an arc fault. The output signal can be configured to cause an electrical circuit to open. The output signal can be generated responsive to a derived signal based upon a first threshold having a first amplitude.
