摘要： The present invention is directed to an electrical wiring device that includes an actuator assembly that is responsive to the fault detection signal. The actuator assembly includes a breaker coil configured to generate an actuation force in response to being energized. A circuit interrupter includes four sets of movable contacts configured to be driven into a reset state in response to a reset stimulus, the four sets of movable contacts being configured to be driven into a tripped state in response to the actuation force. A self-test circuit is coupled to the plurality of line terminals or the at least one sensor. The self-test circuit is configured to automatically generate a test signal from time to time during a predetermined portion of an AC power line cycle. The self-test circuit is configured such that the test signal is sensed by the at least one sensor when the at least one sensor is operational, the sensor output signal being a function of the test signal. A monitor circuit is configured to monitor the fault detection circuit or the actuator assembly; the mechanical actuation force is substantially inhibited when the fault detection circuit or at least a portion of the actuator assembly properly respond to the test signal. The monitor circuit generates an end-of-life response if the fault detection circuit or the actuator assembly do not respond to the test signal within a predetermined period of time.

摘要： An electrical receptacle having front and rear casings forming an enclosed housing for a printed circuit board carrying contacts into which the blades of a plug connected to the receptacle are inserted. The housing includes portions cooperatively placed with respect to the circuit board to provide underlying support for the contacts, as well as to assist in positioning the circuit board relative to the housing. The circuit components carried by the circuit board include three varistor devices for suppressing high transient voltages and the housing includes internal walls providing spaced cavities to receive the respective varistor devices. Another aspect concerns a one-piece mounting strap positioned entirely exteriorly of the receptacle housing and connected thereto by cooperative engagement portions on the strap and the housing, requiring no screws, rivets or other fastening devices.
