ABSTRACT:
A circuit breaker/surge arrestor package for plug-in installation in the space of two standard one-inch openings in a contemporary residential load center. The electrical and thermal characteristics of the components are selected such that a threshold of a substantially continuous current through a Metal Oxide Varistor in the surge arrestor causes the circuit breaker to trip magnetically before being able to trip thermally.
