Claim:
1. A circuit interrupting device comprising: a. a housing; b. a first pair of electrical conductors including a phase conductor and a neutral conductor, the first pair of electrical conductors adapted to electrically connect to a source of electric current; c. a second pair of electrical conductors including a phase conductor and a neutral conductor; d. a third pair of electrical conductors including a phase conductor and a neutral conductor and positioned to electrically connect to at least one user accessible receptacle, wherein the first, second, and third pairs of electrical conductors are capable of being electrically isolated from each other; e. a latch rotatable between a reset position in which electrical continuity is provided between the phase and neutral conductors of the first pair of electrical conductors and the corresponding phase and neutral conductors of at least one of the second and third pairs of electrical conductors, and a trip position in which the first second, and third pairs of electrical conductors are electrically isolated from each other; f. a circuit interrupter configured to be energized upon the occurrence of a fault to engage the latch and cause the latch to rotate from the reset position to the trip position; and g. a trip slider comprising a non-electrical trip indicator disposed within the housing, the trip slider movable from a reset position to a trip position in accordance with the rotatable latch position.
