When the system trips (and tripping is a very regular occurrence), what happens next depends on the system that controls it, very recent history, and if anyone is working on the kit nearby.
Some systems reclose the breakers automatically, some need manual intervention from the electrical control office. Typically the breakers will be closed twice in succession (ie original trip, close, repeat trip, close) but not a third time. On the third occurrence the power stays off until the section has been inspected.
Historically, the circuit breaker would only be reset twice, as the old standard of oil filled circuit breakers for high voltage were only good for 3 trips before they required servicing to prevent catastrophic failure of the circuit breaker, as a result there would be the initial trip, one attempted reset and one left in the bag for the next trip. With the advent of SF6 filled circuit breakers this is no longer a restriction as long as the circuit breaker has gas in it.
