1. An electrical circuit breaker module (20) for protecting a power distribution system in an industrial plant (30) with electrical consumers (5) being distributed in the industrial plant (30) and electrical power being supplied to the electrical consumers (5) via power-supplying line branches (7) of the power distribution system (1), the electrical circuit breaker module (20) comprising:
an electrical circuit breaker (20) arranged in a power-supplying line branch (7);
a closed housing (10) within which the electrical circuit breaker (20) is accommodated, the closed housing (10) comprising:
a first contact (11) for the power-supplying line branch (7), and
a second contact (12) for an electrically protected line branch (8),
wherein the second contact (12) is connected to an electrical consumer (5);
