Auto-reset can be incredibly dangerous in the wrong circumstances, though I admit in different circumstances it might be valuable. Normal practice would be to limit it to a small number of attempted closures (one or two) and to inhibit it completely in the case of certain types of activating fault such as a full blown short circuit. One of the problems of remote closing using an i-Pad is the person using the i-Pad may have no information on the cause of the trip, so how is he/she going to decide whether it is safe to re-close?
