This invention relates to an electric leakage protection socket, comprising a case in which a pin, a stationary contact chip, a movable contact chip, a magnetic ring, a circuit board, a trip coil, an iron core, a trip mechanism and a reset mechanism are installed; the reset spring is socketed outside the reset rod and the later forms a locating ring at its lower part; the trip mechanism comprises a sliding block, a self-locking plate and a spring, protruding shoulders are arranged on two sidewalls of the sliding block, a contact end of the movable contact chip is pressed against the protruding shoulder, a hole is axially machined on the sliding block, the lower part of the reset rod is inserted in the hole, the self-locking plate is in a shape of ‘7’ whose long edge passes through the transverse hole on the sliding block and has a locking hole matching to the locating ring, and one side of its short edge is pressed against the spring and another side adapts to the iron core. This invention overcome such shortcomings of existing technology as low safety, reliability and sensitivity and increase the sensitivity of the tripping of the electric leakage protection socket so that the equipment can be powered on only if it is started again after recovery of the electricity, with such advantages as simple structure, and convenient, safe and reliable operation.
