Abstract:
1. A protective device comprising: a plurality of line terminals, a plurality of feed-through load terminals and a ground connection element accessible via a back body; a cover assembly including a plurality of receptacle openings, a reset button and a test button, the reset button and the test button being disposed along a first diagonal and in opposite corners of a substantially square area defined by the reset button and test button; at least one receptacle contact structure including a portion extending across the first diagonal and at least one receptacle contact substantially aligned with one of the receptacle openings; an electromechanical apparatus disposed in the back body within a region substantially aligned with the substantially square area, the electromechanical apparatus including a toroidal sensor assembly coupled to an actuator coil arranged along a center axis in substantial alignment with the first diagonal, the center axis forming an acute angle relative to a side wall of the back body, the actuator coil providing an actuation stimulus in response to a detected fault condition; and a circuit interrupter configured to render the plurality of line terminals, the plurality of feed-through load terminals and the at least one receptacle contact structure electrically discontinuous in response to the actuation stimulus and electrically continuous in response to an actuation of the reset button.
