There is provided a protection circuit configured to indicate an overcurrent condition of a conductor conducting a load current, the protection circuit including a first current integrator and a second current integrator, each of the first and second integrators being configured to integrate an input voltage proportional to the load current, a summing amplifier configured to receive an offset voltage, to amplify a signal from the second integrator, and to generate a trip threshold based on the input voltage and the offset voltage, and a comparator configured to compare an output of the first current integrator and the trip threshold, and to generate a trip signal at a trip time when the trip threshold is equal to an output of the first integrator, the trip signal indicating an overcurrent condition.
