how do I know the trip trips on a temporary basis

You can determine if the S&C TripSaver II trips temporarily by checking the Relative Time and Duration columns in the event log. The Relative Time column shows the timestamp of trip events, while the Duration column indicates how long each trip event lasted. If the TripSaver II recloser opens and recloses based on its configured operating sequence before eventually resetting, it indicates a temporary fault trip. Additionally, if a temporary fault simulation is performed, the device will charge its capacitors and operate accordingly before resetting.
