    Abstract: A safety shield assembly for a power receptacle and a power receptacle incorporating the same. The safety shield assembly includes a frame and a sliding block and a resilient member disposed in the frame. The frame has multiple openings corresponding to multiple socket holes of the power receptacle, a position limiting member configured to abut the sliding block, and a balancing support member. In its initial state, the resilient member urges the sliding block to a closed position to covers the openings. The sliding block has two inclined surfaces. When an inserted object pushes on only one of the two inclined surfaces, the position limiting member limits the sliding motion of the sliding block; when two inserted objects simultaneously push on both inclined surfaces, the sliding block is balanced on the balancing support member and is able to slides along the frame to expose the openings.

    Abstract: A ground fault circuit interrupter device includes a switch module having a reset switch, a control switch mechanically linked to the reset switch, a ground fault detection module, a self-testing module and a tripping module. The switch module controls the electrical connection between the input and output ends of the device. The ground fault detection module detects a leakage current signal 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 electrically coupled to the ground fault detection module and mechanically coupled to the switch module and the control switch, to control the movement of the switch module and the control switch. The control switch, which opens and closes at the same time as the reset switch, controls the power supply to the self-testing module.

    Abstract: A power cord having a circuit interrupter such as a leakage current detection interrupter (LCDI) or arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI), with a detection signal conductor wire in addition to the current carrying wires between the source and the load, and a temperature controlled switch coupled to the detection signal conductor wire on the load side. The temperature controlled switch is affixed to a device under measurement which is associated with the load, and changes its open or closed state when the device overheats. This in turn changes the state of the current flowing in the detection signal conductor wire. In response thereto, the circuit interrupter, which is coupled to the detection signal conductor wire on the source end, interrupts the power supply to the load.

    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.

    Abstract: A power cord with leakage current detection function includes three copper wires for carrying power and at least one leakage current detection conductor for detecting leakage current. Each copper wire is surrounded by an insulating layer. At least two of the insulating layers are each surrounded by a metal conductive layer. The leakage current detection conductor is adjacent and in electrical contact with the two metal conductive layers. An outer insulating layer encloses the three wires and the leakage current detection conductor. The metal conductive layers are made of a thin copper foil, tin foil, aluminum foil, or conductive rubber. The leakage current detection conductor may be formed of copper wires or aluminum wires. Such a power cord provides low cost and reliability, and can quickly and accurately detect leakage current in the cord.
