Abstract
A circuit breaker assembly is comprised of a first circuit breaker and an oppositely oriented circuit breaker adjacent thereto. The circuit breaker toggle actuators are coupled to one another by an offset coupler or tie such that when one circuit breaker is ON, the other is OFF and vice versa. A motorized circuit breaker module is preferably provided alongside one of the breakers or poles to allow remote operation thereof.
