WATER LEAKAGE PROTECTOR APPARATUS

摘要

A water leakage protector apparatus for appliances subject to leakage includes a first device (90) for detecting water leakage from the water supply line (50, 52) coupled to the appliance and a second device (28) for detecting water leaking from the appliance itself. A control apparatus (10) is coupled to a valve, disposed within the water supply line (50, 52), is connected to a source of electrical power (12), and controls the water flowing to the appliance. The appliance is connected to the control apparatus (10) to obtain electrical power for operation. The first (90) and second (28) sensing devices are coupled to the control apparatus (10) so that when a water leak is detected by either the first (90) or the second (28) detecting device the control apparatus (10) stops the water from flowing in the water supply line (50, 52) and interrupts electrical power to the appliance.
