Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A method for increasing safety of an electrical source, the method comprising:
initiating a first state by a control circuit, wherein a conductor that distributes power from an alternating current (AC) voltage source is energized for a first controlled time period based on the first state being initiated by the control circuit in response to the closing of a single switch connected between the alternating current voltage source and a receptacle;
identifying a flow of electrical current through the conductor during the first controlled time period based on the conductor being energized, wherein a voltage associated with the first state and with the electrical conductor is a lower voltage than a voltage of the AC voltage source;
initiating a second state by the control circuit after the ending of the first controlled time period based on the identified flow of electrical current, wherein the single switch is opened for a second controlled time period disconnecting a portion of the electrical conductor at a single point of the conductor, the initiation of the second state resulting in a change to the voltage associated with the first state; and
initiating the first state in response to the end of the second controlled time period, wherein the single switch is closed resulting in the voltage of the AC voltage source being provided to the conductor, wherein the first controlled time period is initiated based on an indication that the single switch is closed and the first state is initiated for a time period.
