Actually it does have to do with that. These are devices that are required by some energy codes to limit the amount of power that can be used on the track lighting. They are often available as part of the power feed connector to the track.

I didn't realize they actually referred to those as current limiting circuit breakers. It's a semantics thing, but I had heard of them as current limiting devices, similar to current limited power supplies for example. When I hear current limiting circuit breaker, I think of limiting peak let-through for fault conditions. This certainly could have been my mistake on my answer on assuming a different terminology being used.Something like these, I think:
Current Limiting Devices | Juno®
Juno®'s current limiting devices let you optimize the potential of line-voltage track lighting without being penalized by watts-per-foot code calculations.

I think the word breaker in the OP was imprecise. But as it mentions track lighting, it must mean current limiting devices, not something fancier.
You're probably right. We shall see..
What I am doing is trying to bypass using a current limiting panel (see link) that is spec'd...(70 days out, client needs to move in in two weeks) with some devices/breakers. https://www.acuitybrands.com/produc...lverbullet/sub-branch-circuit-current-limiter
Yeah, so those are not "current limiting circuit breakers" in the sense that bwat was initially referring to, those are "current limiters" specific to these track lighting systems. The Juno devices that wwhitney posted later seem to be an alternative, but you would need to check to see if your track lighting system needs a specific current limiter per their UL listing.
Jraef, Do you know of any devices that I could purchase and install on din rails in a large screw cover box and run these two circuits through? I am just trying to satisfy the energy code.
