An electric circuit breaker apparatus protects an electrical circuit against excessive current loads. A first remotely programmable circuit breaker trip device receives an external command with a programmable current threshold, detects a current level in the electrical circuit, and may cause a break in the electrical circuit depending on the detected current level in accordance with a first current duration associated with the stored programmable current threshold. A second electrical circuit breaker trip device is arranged to cause a break in the electrical circuit in accordance with a second current duration different, e.g., shorter, than the first current duration if a current flowing in the electrical circuit exceeds a predetermined rated current for more than the second current duration.
