ABSTRACT:
A system for identifying a selected electrical circuit of interest from a number of electrical circuits, by locating a circuit interrupter connected to interrupt the flow of electrical power from an electrical power supply to the selected circuit of interest. The system includes a remote portion configured to detect when the selected circuit is energized, and in response to generate a wireless signal indicative thereof to a receiver portion located in the vicinity of the circuit interrupter. In response to the wireless signal, the receiver portion is configured to generate an alert indicative to an operator that the flow of electrical power is not interrupted to the selected circuit. By switching the circuit interrupter between the ON and OFF positions, the operator is able to determine from the alert at the receiver portion whether the selected circuit interrupter is connected to control the flow of electrical power to the electrical outlet, load, fixture, or wiring of interest.
