Abstract:
1. A circuit breaker box comprising: (a) a main circuit breaker, the main circuit breaker can be operatively connected to hot service wires; (b) a first hot bus bar and a second hot bus bar, the first hot bus bar and the second hot bus bar are each configured to receive power from the main circuit breaker, wherein a first prong contact of a circuit breaker component can be operatively connected to the first hot bus bar or the second hot bus bar such that the circuit breaker component can draw power from the first hot bus bar or the second hot bus bar, respectively; (c) a plurality of receiver terminals, wherein a second prong contact of a circuit breaker component can be operatively connected to a receiver terminal, each receiver terminal is configured to allow power to transfer from the a circuit breaker component to a first wire of an electrical circuit; and (d) a safety shield for enclosing at least the first hot bus bar, the second hot bus bar, and the receiver terminals, wherein a plurality of wire apertures is disposed in the safety shield for allowing the first wire of the electrical circuit to traverse the safety shield; wherein a plurality of first slots, second slots, and third slots is disposed in a front surface of the safety shield, the first slots are each aligned with a position on the first hot bus bar, the second slots are each aligned with a position on the second hot bus bar, and the third slots are each aligned with a position on a receiver terminal, wherein the first prong contact of the circuit breaker component when inserted into a first slot or second slot can contact the first hot bus bar or second hot bus bar, respectively; and wherein the second prong contact of the circuit breaker component when inserted into a third slot can contact the receiver terminal, wherein the circuit breaker component is removable, wherein the first prong contact of the circuit breaker component extends outwardly from a first end of the circuit breaker component, the second prong contact extends outwardly from a second end of the circuit breaker component, the second prong contact is operatively connected to the first prong contact via a standard circuit breaker configuration, wherein the first prong contact and the second prong are adapted to operatively contact the first or second hot bus bar and a receiver terminal, respectively.
