The invention relates to a socket type ground fault circuit interrupter, which comprises a reset key, a reset mechanism, a conductive component from a power input side to a load side, a leakage signal detection circuit, and an electromagnetic trip mechanism controlled by the leakage signal detection circuit to act, wherein the reset mechanism comprises a reset bracket and a bracket reset mechanism. A short-circuit conducting strip supported by an elastic piece is arranged on the reset bracket, and the contact pressure between a movable contact and a stationary contact is guaranteed, so that the contact resistance is low, and even if the stationary contact setting position is slightly deviated, the short-circuit conducting strip can be self-adjusted and self-adapted, and the operating reliability is improved. In addition, the socket type ground fault circuit interrupter is provided with a reverse wiring protection device comprising an electrically controlled normally closed reverse protection switch, a reset key locking mechanism and a control circuit, so that when the circuit is reversely connected, power is not output from the socket type ground fault circuit interrupter, the prompt and safety protection functions are realized, and the potential safety hazard is eliminated.
