Yes, there are control circuits on the load terminals. The line side is connected directly to the line contact of the internal switch. The load contact has a overload circuit that connects to a overload relay similar to the overload relays that are use in magnetic starter.
In some circuit breaker, the load side terminals may be connected to other optional circuits for shunt control, remote control of the breaker and operational indicator of the breaker. We wire the positive and negative to the breaker from the power source or line side and the output to the loads on the load terminal. Be sure to use a circuit breaker rated for DC. Some breakers are rated for AC and DC.
