Abstract:
1. A circuit interrupting device comprising: a first electrical conductor capable of being electrically connected to a source of electricity; a second electrical conductor capable of conducting electrical current to a load when electrically connected to said first electrical conductor; a third electrical conductor capable of being electrically connected to user accessible plugs and/or receptacles where the first, second and third electrical conductors are electrically isolated from each other; at least one movable bridge electrically connected to the first electrical conductor, said at least one movable bridge capable of electrically connecting the first, second and third electrical conductors to each other; a circuit interrupting portion configured to cause electrical discontinuity between said first, second and third electrical conductors upon the occurrence of a predetermined condition; and a reset portion configured to reestablish electrical continuity between the first, second and third electrical conductors after said predetermined condition occurs.
