Abstract:
A circuit breaker apparatus may include a housing, a circuit inside the housing for protecting the conductors and the load of the circuit, a display attached to outside of the housing, a controller, and a power control device. The display may be an electronically-alterable display that does not require power in situations other than changing its state. The power control device may provide power to the controller and the display when the apparatus is being tampered with. When the controller is powered, it may cause the power control device to cause the display to change from a state that indicates that the apparatus is authenticated to another state that indicates that the apparatus has been tampered with. The power control device may include a battery and a switch, or a power harvester, which can be configured to provide power to the controller when the apparatus is being tampered with.

Claim (Index 14):
A method of indicating integrity of a circuit breaker, the method comprising:\n by a display of the circuit breaker, being in a first state that indicates the circuit breaker is authenticated and has not been tampered with and that does not require power to maintain the first state once displayed; by a power control device of the circuit breaker, detecting that the circuit breaker is being tampered with, and in response to detecting that the circuit breaker is being tampered with providing power to a controller of the circuit breaker; by the controller of the circuit breaker, when powered, sending a signal to cause the display to change from the first state to a second state, wherein:\n the second state indicates that the circuit breaker has been tampered with, and \n power to the display is not required to maintain the second state once displayed.
