ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for opening circuit breakers in a circuit are disclosed. The apparatus includes input terminals adapted to be connected to the circuit, a switch and a load. When the apparatus is connected to the circuit and the switch is closed, a current is created in the circuit which overloads the circuit breaker. The apparatus also includes a fuse to protect the device and a LED to indicate when the device is in use. The apparatus can also include multiple loads to be able to create the overload in different circuits.
