摘要

A ground-fault circuit interrupter has normally open relay contacts connected in series between an incoming hot line and an outgoing hot line. A coil of a detector relay is connected between the outgoing ground line and the outgoing cold line and closes when even a slight voltage differential appears between the outgoing ground line and outgoing cold line. Closing of the detector relay illuminates a short-indicating lamp and causes a further relay to latch on and disconnect the relay whose contacts are connected between the incoming hot line and outgoing hot line so that the device connected to the outgoing hot line is open-circuited. A reset button is provided for placing the circuit back in operative condition with a green OK lamp lighted.
