The present disclosure relates to a circuit interrupting device and system capable of being tested and reset from remote locations, and in particular to circuit interrupting devices and system capable of being tested and reset from remote locations. A remote monitoring device can also be included which can be used to control an actuation device which is capable of controlling a circuit interrupting device. Alternatively the remote monitoring or control device can be used to control the device directly.

The apparatus as in claim 7, wherein said at least one remote activating device is coupled to said at least one additional cable. 9. The apparatus as in claim 1, wherein said at least one remote activating device further comprises addressable circuitry which allows said at least one remote activating device to be identified on a network. 10. The apparatus as in claim 9, wherein said addressable circuitry is coupled to said circuit interrupting system for identification of said circuit interrupting system on a network. 11. The apparatus as in claim 1, wherein said at least one remote activating device comprises at least one of a transmitter and receiver configured to communicate with said circuit interrupting device. 12. The apparatus as in claim 11, wherein said at least one remote activating device communicates with said circuit interrupting device via a wireless protocol taken from the group consisting of: 802.11x; all IEEE 802 channels; Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT); Cellular; personal area networks; UltraWideband (UWB); WLAN; WMAN; Broadband Fixed Access; Local Multipoint Distribution Service (LMDS); WiMax; and HiperMAN. 13. The apparatus as in claim 1, wherein said at least one remote activating device is configured to monitor said circuit interrupting device. 14. The apparatus as in claim 1, wherein said at least one remote activating device is in the form of one of: a computer, a computer workstation, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a server, a personal digital assistant, a telephone, a cellular telephone, and a text messaging device. 15. The apparatus as in claim 1, further comprising at least one additional remote device configured to communicate with said at least one remote activating device. 16. The apparatus as in claim 15, wherein said at least one additional remote device is in the form of one of: a computer, a computer workstation, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a server, a personal digital assistant, a telephone, a cellular telephone, and a text messaging device. 17. The apparatus as in claim 1, wherein said circuit interrupting device is one selected from the group consisting of: a ground fault circuit interrupter, AFCI, a ELCI, and an ALCI. 18. The apparatus as in claim 17, further comprising addressable circuitry disposed in said at least one remote activating device, wherein said addressable circuitry allows said at last one remote activating device to be identified on a computer network.
