ABSTRACT:
A resettable switching apparatus for selectively interrupting a circuit connecting power from a first terminal to a second terminal when a ground fault occurs. The apparatus may be manually or electrically set. However, the contacts are held by a permanent magnet in the closed position such that no current is required. When a ground fault is detected, a current is generated to force the contacts to the open position.
