ELECTRICAL SAFETY SYSTEM WITH TIMER

摘要

An electrical safety system with an integrated timer is disclosed. The electrical safety system may have an input line connected to an output via one or more communication paths. The electrical safety system may also have a ground fault circuit interrupter module including a sensor coil for monitoring current passing from the input line to the electrical load and producing a current signal and a ground fault circuit interrupter circuit. Further, the electrical safety system may have one or more switches for opening or closing the one or more communication paths between the input line and the output, and a solenoid for operating the one or more switches. Additionally, the electrical safety system may have a timer module comprising a timer circuit configured to generate a timer signal and a selector switch in electrical communication with the timer circuit and a visual display.

1. An electrical safety system comprising:
an input line; an output in electrical communication with the input line via one or more communication paths and comprising an electrical load; a ground fault circuit interrupter module comprising:
a sensor coil for monitoring current passing from the input line to the electrical load and producing a current signal;a ground fault circuit interrupter circuit in electrical communication with the sensor coil;one or more switches configured to selectively open or close the one or more communication paths between the input line and the electrical load;a solenoid for operating the one or more switches in response to a control signal generated by the ground fault circuit interrupter; andwherein the control signal is at least partially a function of the current signal; a timer module comprising:
a timer circuit configured to generate a timer signal;a selector switch in electrical communication with the timer circuit; anda visual display in electrical communication with the timer circuit and configured to display an indication related to the timer signal generated by the timer circuit; a housing configured to contain the ground fault circuit interrupter module and the timer module.
