Abstract
The present invention is a simple, low cost, and easy-to-operate ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) device equipped with a display circuit for displaying whether the power-input terminals are correctly connected. The device consists of a cover plate and a main body, which includes power-input terminals, plug-in sockets, power-output terminals, a reset button, a simulated earth leakage test button, a current monitoring circuit, and a display circuit. The display circuit is comprised of a commutation diode, a current-limiting resistor, and a variable-color display lamp. Two control legs of the variable-color display lamp are connected with a power-input terminal and a power-output terminal, respectively. One of the control legs and the common leg of the variable-color display lamp are connected in series with a current limiting resistor and commutation diode to form a loop, and are connected in parallel to one side of the power-input terminals.
