Abstract
A remotely controlled simulated linear circuit breaker capable of being set and reset remotely, and manually operated. Control signals are received by an on-board controller circuit card assembly. The signals will cause a plunger located in a solenoid housing to do one of two things. Either it will be extracted out of the solenoid housing, thereby popping the simulated circuit breaker, or it will be pulled into the solenoid housing, thereby resetting the simulated circuit breaker. In addition, the position of the switch is remotely sensed.
