Patent

CA 2675590

A receptacle includes a housing, an input connection, an output connection, separable contacts structured to electrically connect the input connection and the output connection, an operating mechanism structured to open the separable contacts responsive to a trip signal, and a trip circuit. The trip circuit is structured to generate the trip signal responsive to current flowing to or from the output connection. The trip circuit includes a trip detection circuit and a semiconductor switching device. The semiconductor switching device is mounted within the housing and is located within about 0.25 inch of the input connection or the output connection. The semiconductor switching device is structured to generate the trip signal responsive to the trip detection circuit and responsive to overheating of the input connection or the output connection, respectively.
