ABSTRACT:
An electronic safety device, for example for the current feed of a hairdryer or similar domestic electrical appliance, shuts off the appliance in the presence of moisture or water on electrically conducting parts thereby avoiding a dangerous short circuit. A pair of closely spaced grids is provided, each of which is in series between a pair of connection wires that trip a control circuit which normally maintains energized a relay for closing a control switch of an electrical feed line of the appliance. A supplementary control current continuously flows through each grid and its associated wires.
