Systems and methods for controlling digital circuit breakers

A control system for a digital circuit breaker, the system comprising:

• a digital circuit breaker;
• an electric trace heater electrically connected to the digital circuit breaker, wherein the digital circuit breaker is to disrupt current provided to the electric trace heater based on a time-current curve;
• a temperature sensor;
• and
• a controller device in communication with the digital circuit breaker and the electric trace heater, the controller device including:
• a processor in communication with the temperature sensor, the processor being configured to:
• receive a temperature value from the temperature sensor,
• construct the time-current curve for the digital circuit breaker based on the temperature value,
• transmit data representative of the constructed time-current curve to the digital circuit breaker,
• receive a new temperature value from the temperature sensor,
• construct a new time-current curve for the digital circuit breaker based on the new temperature value, and
• transmit new data representative of the new constructed time-current curve to the digital circuit breaker.
