Portable ground fault circuit interrupter and/or arc fault circuitry interrupter and method of operating the same

A module of a circuit interrupting device, the module comprising:

• a printed circuit board (PCB);
• a bus bar located on the PCB, the bus bar including one or more bus bar contacts;
• one or more contact arms having one or more moveable contacts configured to be in a first position and a second position, wherein when in the first position the one or more moveable contacts are in physical contact with the one or more bus bar contacts and when in the second position the one or more moveable contacts are physically separated from the one or more bus bar contacts;
• a plate located between the PCB and the one or more bus bar contacts and the one or more moveable contacts, wherein the plate is configured to protect the PCB from heat generated by the one or more bus bar contacts;
• and
• a coil assembly located on the PCB, the coil assembly coupled to an actuating device, the actuating device coupled to the one or more contact arms;
• wherein the coil assembly, via the actuating device, moves the one or more moveable contacts from the first position to the second position.
