ABSTRACT:
A protective device for an externally powered electrical apparatus is disclosed. The protective device is designed to prevent accidental electrocution of the user if the power supply is subject to a short circuit. The protective device is an electromechanical device incorporating a device for detecting current differentials between non-ground electrical conductors, a normally closed switch in association with a fuse device, and a trigger circuit for terminating the current flow through the electrical apparatus when a short circuit is detected.
