This slide goes into greater detail on overcurrent protection scenarios with respect to ITH and ICB, where ITH is the threshold current and ICB is the circuit break current. For the first scenario at time 1, current is above ITH but below ICB. Thus, the t trip counter is started. At time 2, since the current returns below ITH before t trip expires, the t trip counter is reset, and normal operation continues. The next scenario begins at time 3. At this time, the current exceeds ITH again and the t trip counter begins again. In this instance, the current remains above ITH until the t trip counter expires at time 4 and the device begins to shut down. At time 5 the device is turned completely off and at time 6, the device is restarted and assumed normal operation when the temperature is reduced by 27°C. Note that this is only possible with the auto-try variant of the NIS3071. The last scenario is at time 7, where the current exceeds both ITH and ICB. In this situation, shortly after at time 8, the device is turned off for some time, and at time 9 the device restarts to begin normal operation given the auto-retry variant is in use.
