A receptacle energized state indicator and circuit breaker trip apparatus is provided for testing a standard 120 volts AC electrical receptacle for the presence of electrical power and remotely tripping the circuit breaker or fuse on the circuit if desired. When it is necessary to work on a receptacle or the circuit wiring to a receptacle, it is important to know that the electrical power has been removed from the receptacle or circuit before beginning work. If the receptacle is energized, the receptacle energized state indicators of the apparatus illuminate to indicate the electrical service circuit is live. The receptacle does not need to be wired correctly for the apparatus to detect a live receptacle. If the receptacle is energized, the user may elect to attempt to de-energize the circuit and receptacle by inducing a very short duration over current condition into the circuit via operation of the circuit interruption means pushbutton. If the over current condition trips the distribution panel breaker or fuse, then the receptacle energized state lamps are extinguished in confirmation. If the breaker or fuse fails to trip and the receptacle remains live, then the receptacle energized state lamps remain illuminated to warn the user that the circuit remains live.
