Abstract

A leakage current detection interrupter with fire protection means, comprising: (i) a leakage current protection circuit, (ii) an electrical cord with metallic fire shields, and (iii) a fire protection circuit, wherein, in operation, the leakage current protection circuit and the fire protection circuit detect a fault condition including a leakage current, a ground fault and a fire hazard, and disconnect the source of electricity from the at least one user accessible load when leakage current, ground fault or fire hazard is detected. The electrical cord with metallic fire shields, the fire protection circuit, and the indicator circuit can be combined with any ground fault circuit interrupter, arc fault circuit interrupter, immerse detection circuit interrupter, appliance leakage current interrupter and electronic leakage current interrupter.
