    Abstract: An LCDI device includes a shell, a movement unit, and a wire bundle assembly. The shell includes a base and an upper cover connected to each other. The movement unit is disposed in the base, and includes at least one connecting conductor. A first end of the wire bundle assembly is disposed in the upper cover and includes at least one shield detection line, where the shield detection line is electrically coupled to the connecting conductor. The shield detection line includes a connecting terminal at the first end of the wire bundle assembly which is configured to received and retain the connecting conductor inserted therein. The structure of the LCDI enables fast and secure assembling of the wire bundle assembly and movement unit, and eliminates the need for internal re-adjustment of the shield detection lines after assembling, which promotes automation of large scale production.

    Abstract: A ground fault circuit interrupter device includes a switch module, a ground fault detection module, a self-testing module and a tripping module. The switch module is coupled between the input and output ends to control the electrical connection between the input and output. The ground fault detection module detects whether a leakage current signal exists at the output end. The self-testing module is coupled to the ground fault detection module and periodically generates a self-test pulse signal which simulates the leakage current signal. The tripping module is coupled to the ground fault detection module and the switch module, to control the movement of the switch module. The device includes at least two tripping drive components, which prevents the device from becoming ineffective when the tripping module malfunctions due to long time use or use under high temperatures. This greatly improves safety of the device.

    Abstract: An electrical power plug or receptacle with an over-temperature protection function, including a reset switch operated by a solenoid that electrically connects and disconnects the input side and output side electrical lines, and an temperature-controlled switch disposed in thermal contact with one or more electrical conductor plates on the input or output side. The temperature-controlled switch is connected in series with the solenoid between the output side phase and neutral lines. When the temperature of the temperature-controlled switch is within a normal range, the switch is open and does not form a current path with the solenoid. When the temperature is at or above a threshold temperature, the temperature-controlled switch is closed, a current flows through the switch and the solenoid between the output side phase and neutral lines, and the solenoid operates the reset switch to disconnect the input side from the output side.

    Abstract: A GFCI device with circuit condition detection function includes a leakage current detection circuit, a disconnect mechanism, a reset mechanism, a circuit condition detection and control circuit, and a selection switch. The disconnect mechanism includes a first SCR controlled by the leakage current detection circuit. The circuit condition detection and control circuit includes a first control circuit and a second control circuit. When the first control circuit is connected to an anode of the first SCR by the selection switch, it provides an intermittent simulated leakage current to the leakage current detection circuit, and the leakage current detection circuit provides a trigger signal for a control gate of the first SCR, so that the first control circuit generates an intermittent simulated leakage current. When the leakage current detection circuit is not operational to generate the trigger signal, the first control circuit generates a control signal to disable the GFCI device.

    Abstract: An improved ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) device has a moveable lock plate controlled by a relay to block a hole under the reset guiding member to prevent reset of the device. The moveable lock plate blocks the hole and prevents reset when the relay is not energized, and expose the hole to allow reset when the relay is energized. The relay is powered by a power supply circuit which is connected in series with a solenoid across the input side of the GFCI. The solenoid is controlled by a control circuit, and causes a disconnecting assembly to disconnect the input and output sides of the GFCI when a leakage current is detected. If the solenoid malfunctions, or if the GFCI device is reversely wired, the relay is not energized and the device cannot be reset.
