ABSTRACT:
An electrical wiring device including a plurality of independent switches and a circuit interrupter. In an aspect, two adjacent switches are provided. The user accessible portions of the switches operate in a direction parallel to the major longitudinal axis of the electrical wiring device. A protected receptacle may also be provided. The circuit protection component includes a line terminal connectable to a source of voltage, a load terminal connectable to a load, a circuit interrupter that is configured to connect or disconnect the line terminal from the load terminal, a fault detection circuit that is configured to detect at least one predetermined condition, and a trip mechanism in operable communication with the circuit interrupter to disconnect the line terminal from the load terminal upon detection of the predetermined condition. In an aspect, an electrical wiring device includes a common member having a plurality of fixed contacts and a common terminal configured to be user connectable to a hot line or a hot load source.
