ABSTRACT:
A breaker, wherein the circuits for the power lines and the neutral line extend through one current transformer. The breaker has a reduced width as compared to known two pole breakers so that additional breakers can be included on one panel. More specifically, the component configuration of the breaker provides a simplified arrangement of the power line circuits so that such circuits readily extend through one current transformer. In addition, the architecture provides that the width of the breaker can be reduced to about 0.5 inches per pole, which enables securing additional breakers to one panel.
