Looks like they can be turned on and off remotely.

They are used for lighting control, etc.. The contacts are built in the breaker.

Product Description
The BABRP and BABRSP
are bolt-on branch circuit
breakers designed for use in
panelboards. The BRRP is a
plug-on branch circuit breaker
designed for use in loadcenters
not manufactured
with breakers with a 1-inch
wide format and are listed on
the “Compatibility list for
Classified Applications”—
Pub. 26271. In addition to
providing conventional branch
circuit protection, they include
a unique solenoid-operated
mechanism that provides for
efficient breaker pulse-on and
pulse-off operation when used
with a suitable controller like
Eaton’s Pow-R-Command™
lighting control system.
These breakers can also be
controlled by pushbutton or
a PLC unit.
