Conversion of standard class a ground-fault circuit-interrupters, (GFCI), to a class a ground-fault circuit interrupter with open neutral protection

摘要

The present invention concerns an improved ground fault circuit interrupt outlet. The device includes a voltage sensitive device which is capable of conducting current at a predetermined voltage. The voltage sensitive device is electrically connected between a ground on the ground fault circuit interrupt outlet and a neutral located on the ground fault circuit interrupt outlet. Arranging the device in this manner converts the ground fault circuit interrupt outlet into a ground fault circuit interrupt with open neutral protection.
