A circuit protection apparatus having an integral grounding provision is disclosed. In one embodiment, the apparatus (10) includes a circuit breaker (12) having an integral over-current circuit that is responsive to a selected transient current condition. At least one conductive contact is positioned on an external portion of the circuit breaker that is coupled to the circuit. A barrier (26) is positioned on the external portion of the breaker (12) and configured to electrically couple to the at least one conductive contact to a selected electrical potential. The over-current circuit may be responsive to an arc-fault condition. The circuit protection apparatus is intended for use within an aircraft and an independent claim is provided which refers to an aerospace vehicle comprising a circuit protection device. |
