Abstract: A smart circuit system configured to enhance circuit protection by directly interfacing with a circuit breaker is disclosed. The system comprises a digital or wireless interface, a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), a load control device, electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) functionality, metering functionality, a diagnosis module, and a communication module. The system can be integrated within an existing panel or any other system requiring load control or EVSE functionality. The GFCI function can be externally added to any circuit breaker. The diagnosis module assesses circuit breaker health by comparing input voltage and voltage trends with voltages measured by other smart circuits within the same panel. The communication module establishes a network among smart circuits for data exchange, enabling local calculations and independent decision-making. The system also includes a load monitoring module for assessing load type and health.
