    Abstract: A leakage current detection interrupter (LCDI) with self-testing function, which includes: a leakage current detection unit, including multiple current-carrying wires and at least one leakage current detection wire for detecting a leakage current of the current-carrying wires; a phase protection unit, coupled to at least one current-carrying wire on the input side of the multiple current-carrying wires, and coupled to at least one current-carrying wire on the output side of the multiple current-carrying wires via the leakage current detection unit, to form a current loop; wherein the phase protection unit can generate a control signal to disconnect the electrical coupling between the LCDI and the power source. By using a temperature controlled module, the leakage current detection unit and the phase protection unit, an LCDI with self-testing function is achieved. When there is a leakage current in the current-carrying wires, or the current-carrying wire is open, or the temperature of the electrical appliance exceeds a predefined range, or the leakage current detection wire is broken, the LCDI can disconnect its electrical coupling with the power source, ensuring the safety of the appliance and enhancing the quality of the electrical grid.

    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: 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: 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.
