  • Thermally protected GFCI
    Publication number: 20110141635
    Abstract: An electrical device having thermal overload protection detects an abnormal temperature of the current carrying conductors, and causes a current imbalance so that a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) triggers, thereby cutting off current flow and preventing thermal overload.
