| 20120075756 | HIGH SENSITIVITY LEAKAGE CURRENT DETECTION INTERRUPTER - A high sensitivity leakage current detection interrupter (LCDI) includes a shielded wire, a current leakage detection unit, and a tripping mechanism. A live core and a neutral core of the shielded wire are respectively wrapped in two conductive shell wires. The current leakage detection unit includes a pair of rectifying diodes reversely connected in series between a live line and a neutral line of a power supply, a voltage dropping resistor, thyristors, and resistor-capacitor (RC) voltage dropping filter circuits. The tripping mechanism includes control units with on/off respectively controlled by the thyristors. When either of the thyristors is turned on, the corresponding control unit is turned on, and the tripping mechanism is actuated to switch off the power supply. | 03-29-2012 |
| 20110169593 | PULSE ACTIVATED MAGNETIC TRIP/RESET MECHANISM FOR A GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER - A pulse activated magnetic trip/reset mechanism for a ground fault circuit interrupter, comprising: (i) a body, (ii) a ferrite core, (iii) a plunger, (iv) a ferrite surrounding, (v) a permanent magnet, (vi) a trip/reset coil, (vii) a reset spring positioned between a plunger block and the body, (viii) a first fixed contact holder having a first fixed contact point, and (ix) a first movable contact holder having a first movable contact point, wherein the first movable contact holder is attached to the body of the plunger such that when the plunger is in its first position (trip position), the first movable contact point is not in contact with the first fixed contact point, and when the plunger is in its second position (reset position), the first movable contact point is in contact with the first fixed contact point. | 07-14-2011 |
| 20110136358 | SAFETY STRUCTURE FOR ELECTRIC RECEPTACLES AND POWER STRIPS - A symmetrically movable safety structure disposed inside of an upper lid of a power panel, includes a cover plate disposed with a jack corresponding to the upper lid, a first shielding part and a second shielding part, disposed within the cover plate, where a first bonding position and a second bonding position corresponding to the jack are formed at a contacting place of the above two shielding parts, and a first elastic part and a second elastic part, wherein the first elastic part is disposed between the cover plate and the first shielding part, the second elastic part is disposed between the cover plate and the second shielding part, and the first shielding part and the second shielding part contact with each other under elastic force application directions. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20110061892 | CABLE WITH CURRENT LEAKAGE DETECTION FUNCTION - A cable having a current leakage detection function includes three current-carrying core wires. Each current-carrying core wire is wrapped by an insulating layer, so that the current-carrying core wires are electrically insulated from one another. The insulating layer of at least one of the current-carrying core wires is wrapped by a metal wire net. Current guiding wires in contact with the metal wire net or a single-sided conductive film laminated outside the metal wire net is utilized to achieve the effect of timely and effectively conducting a leakage current to a leakage current detection device, so as to improve the reliability of leakage current detection. | 03-17-2011 |

| 20100046128 | LEAKAGE CURRENT DETECTION INTERRUPTER WITH FIRE PROTECTION MEANS - A leakage current detection interrupter with fire protection means comprising: (i) a movable assembly housing; (ii) two fixed contact holders each having a fixed contact point; (iii) ) two movable contact holders each having a fixed end and a movable end with a movable contact point; (iv) a movable assembly that moves between a first position and a second position; (v) a resetting component; (vi) a resetting component spring; (vii) an electromagnetic tripping component, which, when energized, which is responsive to a fault condition, causes the movable assembly to be in the second position from the first position; (viii) an leakage current protection circuit assembled on a printed circuit board for detecting the fault condition; and (ix) a set of three electrical wires: a first wire, a second wire, and a third wire to an appliance, wherein the first wire and the second wire are protected by a plurality of protective shields. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20090315652 | LOCKING MECHANISM FOR PROTECTING A GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER FROM FAULTY RESETTING - A locking mechanism for protecting a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) from being faultily reset. In one embodiment, the locking mechanism has a blocking member secured onto a lateral side of the movable assembly, a resilient member, and a locking member having a first end portion positioned against the resilient member, a second end portion positioned in relation to the blocking member, and a body portion defined between the first end portion and the second end portion. When the movable assembly is in a first (tripping) position, the expanding force of the resilient member applied to the first end portion of the locking member causes the second end portion of the locking member to be positioned against the blocking member so that no movement of the movable assembly from the first position to a second (resetting) position is allowed. | 12-24-2009 |
