Abstract

See full text

An extension cord having a male plug at one end and a receptacle at the other has a mechanism for opening the phase and neutral conductors in the event the receptacle is subjected to a conductive media. A recess in the face of the receptacle receives a first immersion detection electrode and a spaced, parallel, second immersion detection electrode. A conducting media bridging the two immersion detection electrodes sends a signal to an operating device which causes the opening of the phase and neutral conductors until the conducting media is removed.
