ABSTRACT:
A circuit breaker receptacle is provided in which there is a circuit breaker to be used to protect a sub-circuit in an alternating current electrical circuit. A range plug is connected to the circuit breaker range processor to set an ampere value to be detected and interrupted by the circuit breaker. A variety of differently valued range plugs can be available so that the sub-circuit can be protected at various amperage values, thus permitting a plurality of individually protected sub-circuits to extend from a single main circuit. The sub-circuits will each be protected at a lower amperage value than the main circuit.
