ABSTRACT:
A circuit breaker locator comprises a housing having a plunger projecting outwardly at one end and reciprocably moveable within the housing. The plunger is coupled to a spring urged retractable contact at the opposite end of the housing. The housing also includes, at the end with the retractable contact, a pair of contacts extending outwardly therefrom which are coupled to a fuse and a pilot light connected in parallel with the fuse. In operation, the pair of contacts are inserted into an electrical outlet and the plunger is actuated forcing the retractable ground contact into the outlet. The device automatically trips a circuit breaker related to the particular outlet so that it is possible to check which circuit breaker is connected to the outlet. If the breaker fails to trip, the alarm light, which is connected parallel with the fuse, is activated indicating a faulty circuit breaker. The circuit breaker locator provides a ready and safe means of determining what circuit breaker is related to what outlet.
