Abstract
An improvement in an electrical circuit-breaker module of the narrow modular type connectible in stacked relationship with a plurality of modules in an electrical distribution panel. Each of the modules is associated with respective electrical distribution branch circuit and is provided with circuit interruption means for interrupting its associated electrical distribution branch circuit upon the occurrence of predetermined fault and overload currents on the branch circuit. The improvement comprises a controlled switch means mounted in at least one of the modules, without altering the thickness of the module in the vertical plane. The controlled switch means is connected in series with the circuit interruption means and is operable by command means exteriorly or interiorly of the module to assume an open or closed contact condition.
