A leakage protection method and device having a live/neutral wire identification function that identify the live wire and neutral wire of an input power source by means of a live/neutral wire identification device 1. If the live/neutral wires are discovered to be erroneously connected, the connections between the live wire L' and the neutral wire N' of an electric device and the live wire L and the neutral wire N of the power source are immediately adjusted directly or indirectly; or, the connection of a surface leakage signal pickup device 2 is adjusted; or, a main circuit switch K is made such that the main circuit switch cannot close the circuit or that the main circuit switch breaks the circuit immediately after closing the circuit, so that a user must correct the connections of the live/neutral wires of the power source; the surface leakage signal pickup device 2 is arranged such that said device is always connected to the neutral wire N of the power source and to the surface F of the electric device, so as to always monitor the electric potential of the surface F of the electric device over the neutral wire N of the power source. When the electric device surface leaks electricity, the leakage signal pickup device 2 immediately drives an electromagnetic tripping device 3 to break the main circuit switch 3, thereby breaking the connection between the electric device and the power source. The method and device of the present invention can remove leakage before a human body experiences an electric shock, thereby eliminating potential accidents; leakage accidents due to connection errors are prevented; electric device surface leakage can be effectively prevented even when the electric device is not connected to ground. |
