Original Abstract Submitted
A circuit breaker can include a housing configured to fit within a slot of a circuit panel and a display configured to display information. The display can include a touch zone configured to allow touch inputs, and a variable image zone configured to display information and at least partially coincident with the touch zone. The circuit breaker can also include a logic module operatively connected to the touch zone to receive the touch inputs, and operatively connected to the variable image zone to display information thereon based on the one or more touch inputs.
