An AC power line protection device which includes miswiring protection has an indicator lamp which lights when the device is in the tripped condition and turns off when the device is reset. The protection device also includes a protective circuit which protects the AC power line from downstream faults. The indicator lamp and/or the protective circuit are powered via the hot line bus bar by connecting a breaker spring to the hot line bus bar. A contact post is then connected between the breaker spring and an underside of a printed circuit board where power is provided to the indicator lamp and/or the protective circuit.

The present invention is directed to an electrical wiring protection device including a housing assembly including at least one receptacle, the at least one receptacle being configured to receive plug contact blades inserted therein. The housing assembly includes a hot line terminal, a neutral line terminal, a hot load terminal, a neutral load terminal, a hot user-accessible receptacle contact, and a neutral user accessible receptacle contact. A fault detection circuit is coupled to the hot line terminal and the neutral line terminal. The fault detection circuit is configured to detect at least one fault condition and provide a fault detect signal in response thereto. An interrupting contact assembly is coupled to the fault detection circuit. A weld breaker mechanism is coupled to the interrupting contact assembly. The weld breaker mechanism is configured to strike the first pair of contacts and/or the second pair of contacts in response to the tripping stimulus.

The present invention is a protection device that is coupled to a power source in an electric power distribution system. The protection device is configured to protect a portion of the power distribution system from at least one fault condition. The device includes line terminals configured to be coupled to the power source when a proper wiring condition is effected. A receptacle member includes receptacle openings configured to accommodate plug contact blades. Receptacle contacts are disposed in the receptacle member and coupled to the line terminals. An electrical connection is established between the receptacle contacts and the line terminals. At least one protective shutter is movable between a closed position and an open position. The at least one protective shutter is disposed between the receptacle openings and the receptacle contacts in the closed position to prevent the plug blades from making contact with the receptacle contacts. A mis-wiring sensor is coupled to the line terminals.

The present invention is directed to a ground fault circuit interrupt (GFCI) device. The GFCI device includes a GFCI device housing. A GFCI circuit is enclosed within GFCI device housing. The GFCI circuit is configured to detect a ground fault condition. A second detection circuit is coupled to the GFCI circuit and disposed within the GFCI device housing. The second detection circuit includes a switch element configured to be in an open position during at least one post-manufacture test procedure and configured to be in a closed position during usage. A protection switch is disposed on the exterior of the GFCI device housing and operatively coupled to the switch element. The protection switch is configured to allow a user to throw the switch element into the closed position without accessing the interior of the GFCI device housing.

An electrical wiring device configured to be disposed in an electrical distribution system including a power source for providing power to a load, including a compact switch assembly. The compact switch assembly includes a rocker assembly, a fixed contact assembly and a moveable contact assembly. By design and interaction between surfaces of the rocker assembly and the moveable contact assembly, permanent switch contact closure due to contact arc welding is avoided. A pivot member including a (moveable) contact is opened to a first contact separation distance within a given time and then to a second contact separation distance via user supplied force to a user accessible surface. A combination device is also disclosed including a circuit interrupter configured to provide power to a portion of the electrical distribution system in the closed contact position and to interrupt power from a portion of the electrical distribution system in the open contact position in response to a predetermined fault condition in the electrical distribution system. A method for opening a set of closed switch contacts in a switch assembly of an electrical device configured to provide the rated current of an AC electrical distribution system to a load is further disclosed.

The present invention is directed to an electrical wiring device that includes a plurality of line terminals, a plurality of load terminals, and a set of receptacle load terminals. The device includes a fixed contact and a first cantilever member including a first contact disposed thereon. A second cantilever member is disposed between the fixed contact and the first cantilever. The second cantilever member includes a dual contact disposed thereon. The dual contact is disposed between the fixed contact and the first contact. An actuator is configured to move between a closed position and a tripped position. The actuator is configured to urge the first cantilever toward the second cantilever to close the fixed contact, the first contact, and the dual contact such that the plurality of line terminals, the plurality of load terminals, and the set of receptacle load terminals are electrically continuous in the closed position. The actuator is also configured to release the first cantilever from the second cantilever to open the fixed contact, the first contact, and the dual contact. The plurality of line terminals, the plurality of load terminals, and the set of receptacle load terminals are decoupled in the tripped position.
