摘要

An electrical extension cord includes a leakage current detector interrupter (LCDI) with reset lockout that can interrupt the power being supplied a line side of the cord to a corded appliance or to household wiring when a leakage current is detected flowing from any of the wires in the load side of the cord to a shield within the cord. The LCDI may be enclosed in a housing on a plug end of the cord that includes the plug for connection to the line.
