PURPOSE: A low power consuming power outlet for blocking standby power using infrared signals is provided to turn off a contact portion by allowing a standby power diagnosis module to inactivate a relay switch when utilization equipment is placed in a standby mode. CONSTITUTION: If a light receiving module (100) is turn on, a relay switch (600) is applied with a power voltage in order to turn on a contact portion (300). When the contact portion is turned on, a thyristor of a standby power diagnosis module (400) is applied with power so that the relay switch is electrified. A sensing controller (400a) of the standby power diagnosis module senses an amount of current in a power line by receiving a signal from a current sensor (300), and sends out a control signal according to the sensed amount of current in order to turn on or off the thyristor. The standby power diagnosis module turns on or off the relay switch through the thyristor and the sensing controller. [Reference numerals] (AA) Filter; (BB) IR signal |
