A device which attaches externally onto circuit breaker switches and mechanically alters the circuit's state by moving the manual lever

摘要

The present invention relates to a circuit control device which attaches onto existing circuit breaker switches, such as the MCB switch. This retrofitting device mechanically moves the external lever, or switching latch, of the circuit breaker to turn on and off the circuit. This device can in turn be connected to a separate controller, enabling the user to create a circuit control system. The advantage of the invention is that it can be used to turn on and off existing circuits in a building without having to interfere with these circuits. Another benefit of retrofitting circuit breakers is that all of the circuit breakers in a building are situated in the building’s distribution box. Therefore all of these circuits can be controlled from the one place.
