Coordinating a sequence of opening and closing operations of poles in a solid-state circuit breaker

A method, comprising:

• receiving, via at least one processor, a first set of data indicative of a fault being present;
• sending, via the at least one processor, a first signal to a breaker based on the first set of data, wherein the first signal is configured to cause the breaker to open a plurality of poles of the breaker;
• receiving, via the at least one processor, a second set of data indicative of the fault being cleared;
• and
• sending, via the at least one processor, a second signal to the breaker based on the second set of data, wherein the second signal is configured to cause the breaker to:
• close a first pole of the plurality of poles at a first time;
• and
• close a second pole of the plurality of poles at a second time different from the first time.

A non-transitory, machine-readable medium, comprising machine-readable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• receive a first set of data indicative of a fault being present;
• send a first signal to a breaker based on the first set of data, wherein the first signal is configured to cause the breaker to open a plurality of poles of the breaker;
• receive a second set of data indicative of the fault being cleared;
• and
• send a second signal to the breaker based on the second set of data, wherein the second signal is configured to cause the breaker to:
• close a first pole of the plurality of poles at a first time;
• and
• close a second pole of the plurality of poles at a second time different from the first time.
