Zusammenfassung:	A remote control residential and commercial lighting and appliance branch circuit breaker (20) provides both overload current protection and load management. Structure is provided enabling packaging in a three-quarter inch width case (22), including a first set of contacts in the case provided by a pair of separable overload breaker contacts (44, 46), trip structure (48) in the case for causing separation of the overload breaker contacts in response to overload currents therethrough, a second set of contacts in the case provided by a pair of switching relay contacts (150, 152) having open and closed conditions and electrically connected in series with the overload breaker contacts (44, 46), and an actuator (154) in the case energizable to mechanically actuate the switching relay contacts. Feedback circuitry (FIG. 13) is included providing status indication of the condition of the switching relay contacts. Structure is provided for reducing actuator and spring requirements and sizes.
