| Title: |
Plug-In Power Module Incorporating Ground-Fault Detection and Reporting |
| Abstract: |
An improved plug-in power module for providing a controlled amount of
electrical power to one or more remote lighting fixtures or other load is
disclosed, the module being configured to sense a ground fault or other
current imbalance at the load and, in response, both to trigger the
module's circuit breaker to open and to report the occurrence of such a
ground fault to a central location. The power module achieves these
important functions without adding unduly to the module's complexity or
size.
