Energy Management Circuit Breaker (EMCB) - EPRI

This project is investigating an energy management circuit breaker (EMCB) with several additional features. The EMCB is a single-or-double pole, thermal-magnetic circuit breaker commonly installed in low-voltage panelboards to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overcurrent, overload or short circuit. The EMCB also has integrated metering, remote control of an on/off switch, and the ability to connect to a wireless local area network (WLAN) for communication.
