Embodiments provide an Energy Reduction Maintenance Setting (ERMS) key that includes a data connector configured to communicatively couple to a data port of a target device. The ERMS key further includes an illumination device and an actuator mechanism having a base positional state and an actuated positional state. The ERMS key includes logic configured to, upon detecting the actuator mechanism has moved from the base positional state to the actuated positional state, generate and transmit a first data message to the target device through the data connector instructing the target device to enter a protected mode. The logic is further configured to, upon receiving a second data message from the target device over the data connector acknowledging that the target device has successfully entered the protected mode, cause the illumination device to illuminate.

A circuit breaker for an electric current, said device comprising a movable member (2) provided with an electrical conductor (4), said device being configured to move said movable member (2) between a first position, referred to as armed, allowing current to flow in the conductor (4), and a second position, referred to as disarmed, interrupting said current flow, said device further comprising an actuator (12), configured to trigger a transition of the movable member (2) from the armed position to the disarmed position in the event of a fault on an electrical circuit in which said device is integrated, said device further comprising a reset member (36) having a manual actuation zone (38), configured to move the movable member (2) from the disarmed position to the armed position, thereby also triggering a reset of the actuator (12), said actuation zone (38) forming a visual indicator of a disarmed state of said device.

The application discloses a small circuit breaker movable contact connecting structure and a small circuit breaker. The movable contact connecting structure comprises a movable contact and a contact support. A waist-shaped hole is arranged on the surface of the contact support, the waist-shaped hole is used for arranging a first hinged shaft to hinge the contact support to a circuit breaker base, and the contact support can slide along the long axis direction of the waist-shaped hole under the radial limitation of the first hinged shaft; an insertion warehouse for partially inserting the movable contact is arranged on the side wall of the contact support. During the closing process of the small circuit breaker, the contact support is forced to rotate around the first hinged shaft to a preset angle, then the movable contact and the static contact abut against each other, the contact support continues to be forced to make the contact support translate relative to the base, and the first hinged shaft in the waist-shaped hole is relatively translated to the other side along the long axis direction from one side of the waist-shaped hole. The application discards the mode of fixing the movable contact in the traditional circuit breaker, and has the advantages of stable connection and simple structure.

A circuit breaker can include a housing configured to fit within a slot of a circuit panel and a display configured to display information. The display can include a touch zone configured to allow touch inputs, and a variable image zone configured to display information and at least partially coincident with the touch zone. The circuit breaker can also include a logic module operatively connected to the touch zone to receive the touch inputs, and operatively connected to the variable image zone to display information thereon based on the one or more touch inputs.
